On November 7, lingerie maker Triumph International Japan unveiled the “My Chopsticks Bra,” which features a pair of cups that resemble bowls of rice and miso soup, and a set of collapsible chopsticks that tuck into either side. The My Chopsticks Bra is the latest addition to Triumph’s line of concept lingerie designed to boost awareness of environmental issues.

Triumph unveils the My Chopsticks Bra as Japanese consumers are becoming more aware of the negative impact that disposable chopsticks have on the environment. While it is becoming increasingly trendy for people to reduce waste by carrying around their own reusable chopsticks, Japanese consumers still go through an estimated 25 billion pairs (90,000 tons) of disposable chopsticks each year, which amounts to 200 pairs per person.

Triumph lingerie model Yuko Ishida, who ordinarily carries around a pair of her own chopsticks, says she hopes people think of the environment when they see this bra, adding that “the chopsticks on the sides help add a little extra volume to your bust.”

With exquisite styling in enchanting fabrics and the most delicate of colours, Triumph creates a lingerie collection for spring that will appeal to the heart and enhance the curves of every discerning woman.



The collection unfolds with gorgeous soft laces, embroideries and jacquards sitting alongside plainer and more sculptured shapes. Together, these combine effortlessly in a series of contemporary looks for every occasion and mood.

Ornate and richly textured embroideries and laces appear on the lightest of transparent nets for a sophisticated and seductive look. Supple padding, flexible under-wiring and clever seams gently support and contour, even for big cups. In fact, most of the new bras go right up to F cup (Luxury Desire, Lacy Desire, Lovely Passion).

The bras and sets will be available in Vanilla or Powder Pink, sizes: 32 – 44 B – F cups and are priced around £29.

Luxury Desire bra

The Luxury Desire bra (shown left) Features "galloon guipure tulle" embroidery in the upper cups and allover tulle embroidery in the lower section this light and luxurious bra is very desirable. For optimal fit and comfort, the sides and back are in stretch warp knit material and “comfort wires” are a special feature of the under wiring.

As I'm sure you'll agree, it's an elegant, sophisticated and sensuous look.

Seamless cup designs that gently smooth the body have sensuous second skin appeal. Soft and Nude with its clean, puristic lines incorporating flat and selvedge edges is almost undetectable under clothing.

Lending a soft, almost vintage effect to the season are gentle vanilla, apricot, rose and café latte tones with silver as a subtle contrast. And looking fresh, crisp and modern in the glossy new textures is classic white. Decorative straps, cleavage detail, pretty bows and delicate metallic trims are dainty touches. Matching briefs favour a deep square cut or high-leg.

Soft & Nude N Bra & Hipster

Barely visible, barely tangible! This smooth, purist series in Black and Café Latte clings like a second skin, thanks to its 2-zone fabric with its flat “engineered” selvedge edges. It is so light you’ll hardly even notice you’re wearing it!

The modern middle strap bra has seamless cups and crossover support at the front. It is decorated with a Triumph crown in crystallized Swarovski elements at the centre front.

This bra comes in sizes: 32 – 38 in A – C cups and is priced around £15.

Finally, the best sellers Amourette 300, Angel Curves, Intense Passion, My Desire, Romantic Desire and Tender Temptation are all given a makeover with shades from the spring palette.
