We published a traditional mail order catalogue and launched a website focused on the vintage styles centered around our expertise in authentic nylon stockings.ĭid you have a background in marketing or textiles? This coincided with the beginning of the internet. We grew to three stores in our area and in 1993 decided to transition to mail order. We found that the vintage styles and stockings did the best. As time went on we added more modern items to our selections but we never stopped selling the vintage looks. We were selling bullet bras, merry widows, shapewear girdles, garter belts, and authentic nylon stockings (full fashioned and reinforced heel and toe). So, we decided to open a store.Īt that time the majority of the lingerie available was from companies that are considered vintage brands today (and most of which no longer exist). There were no desktop systems with which to work digital cameras didn’t exist. In the early 80’s starting a mail order company was difficult. When my wife and I were doing our research we conceived of the business as a mail order company. Secrets In Lace started in 1984 as a retail store in Northern Virginia. From sponsoring countless events to working together on multiple Viva Las Vegas presentations and an epic Lingerie Fashion Week show, Secrets In Lace has been a strong supporter of the burlesque scene for well over 10 years!

I was thrilled to ask Daniel some questions about Secrets In Lace and ask some deconstructing-the-stocking questions you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask! One margarita-fueled meal led to lots of brainstorming, burlesque building concepts, and over a decade of friendship.
I first met Daniel Whitsett in the early 2000’s as he was building his online stocking empire. Celine recreates that look!An Interview with Daniel Whitsett of Secrets In Lace We have always liked the vintage look of stockings with a contrasting line at the top of the welt. We designed this garter belt with a back closure of 5 hook and eye connectors, side and back lace panels and garter straps with a beautiful contrasting shiny finish. Our exclusive six strap garter belt is truly made to be comfortable while providing excellent support. Coordinate this with any one of the six beautiful pieces from the Dominique collection.
