Lingerie brand Love Stories has collaborated with Amsterdam-based designer Tess van Zalinge to create a unique bridal version of its iconic "[Lola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handbag-scents)" briefs. The 'Lola' briefs are crafted from [upcycled wedding gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-resale-program) and veils, fusing old and new concepts in alignment with the iconic wedding phrase. Complete with blue stitching and co-branding on the rear tag, the briefs come with textured floral elements that have a white, tablecloth-style design.

“I love to think that our upcycled Lola briefs are keeping wedding heirlooms, memories and craftsmanship in motion,” says [Love Stories’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/for-love-and-lemons-1) founder and creative director, Marloes Hoedeman. “It’s been inspiring to work with Tess — who has a conscious awareness of her craft — and celebrate sustainability in lingerie. Whether you wear the briefs for your own wedding night or spoil a friend with a memorable bachelorette gift, the briefs have a modern-vintage feel that’s feminine and beautiful.”
