LOOKING for that fashion item to make you feel fantastic after 40? Then welcome to Zahira’s Boudoir.

Based in a refurbished shipping container at Trinity Buoy Wharf, just to the east of Canary Wharf estate, the company run by Zahira and her partner Idris De Angeli is taking advantage of rising interest in burlesque and fetish styles.

Offering a wide range of leather goods from wedding hats to tickle sticks, the mantra from the duo is to celebrate adulthood, rather than seek eternal girlhood.

“The target clients are women over 40 who want to be women,” said Zahira. “A lot of ladies go through their 30s and do the family thing, then their children are older and they want to feel fantastic again."
