Chanty Lace - Recycle, Rethink, RecreateBY LINGERIEBRIEFS
Following a trail of the virtual bread crumbs through the dark forest, I finally reached a magnificent garden of gently knitted transparent patterns, enchanting colors, and natural yarns. For me, a lingerie designer by trade, this is how discovering this incredible company felt like.
Chanty is a creator of fine 2-way stretch jacquardtronic, and textronic laces based near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and a place of origin to many wonderful ingenious and prolific conceptions. Chanty’s goal, above all, is to anticipate demands and satisfy tastes of all women, stylish and romantic, active and elegant, minimalists and lovers of all lavish. |

AUTUMN-WINTER 2018/19 IN FOCUSThree strong themes for Chanty and one very elaborate theme for Corvett Spitzen translate winter’s key trends: raised work, comfort and colour take precedence this season, as lace moves into all market segments, from ready-to-wear to homewear, from lingerie to sportswear.

Fantasy: between dreams and reality, this colorful theme gives the season new depth.Both joyful and explosive, this line of resolutely modern lace uses contrasting and sophisticated effects to surprise and seduce. Two-colour lace, with tone-on-tone motifs, creates a very refined aesthetic. Lace that seems like an invitation to dream, as if to escape the worries of everyday life.
With a hand-made feel, single or contrasting two-tone laces look to florals and graphics for inspiration. For a festive touch, they have been brightened up in exotic shades of papaya and lime, or deeper colours like official blue. |

Comfort Zone: a Zen attitude for a theme that inspires calm and relaxation.
The atmosphere is calm and cosy. Delicate shades of smoky pink and iceberg blue colour discretely traced flowers. These laces are like a soft music which fills the room with its delicate notes. Gently curving graphic motifs are an invitation for calm and relaxation. When it’s time to take a break and unwind in a world that moves too quickly, comfort is all-important. A special allover lace and the technical qualities of two-way stretch lace are particularly well suited to homewear, yogawear and loungewear.

Enigma: selected extracts from an Agatha Christie novel.A powerful theme, imbued with mystery and nostalgia, reminiscent of the 1930s and the refinement of the legendary Orient Express. As if lifted from the pages of a work by Agatha Christie, highly expressive lace makes the most of elaborate motifs, the interaction between raised and openwork, rich and precious colours: aubergine, peacock blue and flamingo pink. Chanty has created an enchanting theme, with a retro style, underlined by wonderfully elegant cotton lace.

Indie Woman: a dynamic, independent and urban woman
For this urban brand, designed for elegant and confident woman, Chanty has delved into the fabulous Corvett archives. Indie Woman is a particularly rich theme: thanks to colour combinations of brick and urban grey, softened by a shell pink; thread work with very substantial lace, making bold use of opaque effects and dull and shiny contrasts; as well as impressive raised motifs. A timeless yet contemporary theme.
