The Great Eros, a lingerie, clothing and accessories store from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, will be opening an outpost in downtown Birmingham, at 245 W. Maple Road, the owners announced.

The Great Eros was founded in 2016 and is designed and operated by Christina Viviana and Emilio Ramirez as a luxury lingerie experience, utilizing beautiful quality materials and designs for women of all ages and shapes.

“We founded The Great Eros in November of 2016 as a celebration of pleasure in all its forms. In our creative process – from selecting our materials for their feel as much as their look, to finding the silhouettes and timeless forms that truly feel good on the body – we center our work on the joys of the sensual world,” they stated.

“To honor our commitment to craftsmanship and the pleasure of lived experience, we partner with carefully selected family-owned factories and studios in Italy, China, Japan, Peru and our home city of New York to ensure our garments uphold our values of ethical and sustainable production,” Viviana and Ramirez continued.

New arrivals include bras, panties, thongs, t-shirts, shapewear, dresses, tops and bottoms, jumpsuits, socks, fragrance and body oil, sunglasses, jewelry and candles by Lola James.
