The company was called VF Intimates and were situated at the Yoker site for many years also known in the States as Vanity Fair who are big players in the underwear business.
You may want to study their lines in more detail here http://www.shopvanityfaironline.com/shop.php
This UK site supplied a lot of catalogue firms and High Street Department stores.
Were bought over by a Spanish firm in the early 00's and things began to go from there on in.
Items were made out the far east shipped over to Scotland and distributed from Yoker to all over Europe.
This used to be one of my customers a few years ago as were MJM of the Ultimo Bra fame, in fact I consider myself somewhat of a Glasgow Hosiery specialist.

I'm confused - is that a real place that's not there any more, or is it another pun that I don't get?
