In 1977, Gail Epstein created a handmade lingerie set for her friend Lida Orzeck, made from embroidered handkerchiefs. The designs astounded industry experts and retailers and this became the inspiration behind the name Hanky Panky.
Hanky Panky is an international brand renowned for the design, manufacture and sale of women's lingerie and sleepwear. They provide brilliant solutions for fashion and remain dedicated to comfort, quality, design and US production. They set a new standard for thongs when their 'one size fits all' original thong was released in 1986. It made the spotlight on the front page of the Wall Street Journal article in 2004 and was described as "lace butter". It is now renowned as the 'World's Most Comfortable Thong". All their garments are made from high quality material and 100% of the fabrics and trims used to create their Signature Lace styles are knitted in the USA, even the Supima Cotton fibres for the crotch linings are grown in the USA. Their Signature Lace pattern is exclusive to Hanky Panky and is protected by copyright.
Hanky Panky blend the traditional with modern, glamorous looks to create their signature fit, feel and long life of each individual design. They have revolutionised the lingerie industry with their legendary styles and continue to do so with their latest collections. Discover them here at Knicker Locker.
