Japanese lingerie brand now selling underwear embroidered with a famous renaissance painting

But would you have ever expected them to take a classical work of art like Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus and put it on a bra and panties?

The main images of the painting are depicted on the bra (4,378 yen/US$36.06) over a base of sea green to represent the spring ocean depicted in the painting, so there’s no mistaking the inspiration behind this unique lingerie set.
