“The wise know this: lingerie is never really bought for the drawer it sleeps in.”
— The Sage
The Sage has always had a soft spot for the small rituals that make life feel a little more enchanted. Lingerie, he says, is one of those curious purchases that reveals far more about the heart than about clothing. Though it spends most of its life folded away in a quiet drawer, its purpose reaches well beyond fabric and lace. It is a promise of confidence, a spark of delight, and a reminder that beauty often lives in the unseen.
He observes that people rarely buy lingerie out of necessity. It is chosen with hope, with affection, or with the desire to feel just a little more alive. The Sage notes that such purchases are not practical — but they are meaningful. They speak to our longing for romance, mystery, and the gentle thrill of adorning the parts of ourselves the world does not normally see.
With his characteristic humour, The Sage invites us to view lingerie not as clothing, but as poetry stitched in silk. What matters, he suggests, is not where it is kept but why it was chosen. The drawer is merely storage; the sentiment is what truly wears it.
