What’s Up, Bra?

Lady Laundry Hand Washing Service

Somewhere, a woman is beating her underthings against a river rock.

It’s not you.

Lack of river access aside, hand washing is something you do after a day with your niece and nephew — not to your clothing.

Good thing there’s Claudia Andonie, a.k.a. Lady Laundry. The art consultant started her side business after she found her own delicates beginning to pile up in the bottom of the hamper and wasn’t able to find anyone who would hand wash them for her. So the self-proclaimed perfectionist did some research and started getting sudsy.

Andonie offers two signature services, both of which include delivery and pickup: The Sufficiently Stylish is $6 (flat rate) and includes treatment in Woolite products. For a dollar more, you can get the Glam Slam, for which Andonie uses The Laundress line.

Finally, peace of mind knowing your push-up bra is ready to go at a moment’s notice.

You wouldn’t want to be caught up the river without some padding.
