We get excited when we get to feature a beautiful product line from Canada, and the sleepware and lingerie by Kenan, is just such a line.
For the summer we have brought in several new pieces. Seen right is the Kenan iMode Daphne bust cut chemise. It's in a coral silk charmeuse with a black lace bust, complete with a crystal in the center of the bustline. This chemise is light, figure-skimming and offers extra ease with stretch in its fabric. This is the perfect piece in which to flounce about the house and then slip straight into bed. Combine it with the floral kimono for flair or a little extra coverage while sipping cocktails on the back deck.
We carry the Kenan iMode Morgan, seen right, year-long in a variety of seasonal colours, but just to tempt you, this is its design for the winter collection in barolo wine with black lace. This design is an extra touch of elegance in an already luxurious line.
More styles and colours have been brought in for summer, ranging from demure to exotic. Come into Secret Drawers Lingerie to find the one right for you.
Elegance? Body-skimming silk that stretches? Floral and deep tones? There is no doubt, for Kenan, underwear matters...
Every year Secret Drawers Lingerie participates in Courtenay's annual Market Day. It's a family-friendly event where kids, parents, and even grandparents wander downtown 5th street enjoying a festival of local arts, crafts, music and performance.
As you can see, on Market Day fifth street in downtown Courtenay gets cordoned off from traffic so you can mix and mingle through the shops, awnings and entertainment. The event starts at 7:30 am and Secret Drawers Lingerie is open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm this Friday, July 16th.
Join us for treasure and bargain hunting, not to mention great deals on some of our most popular lines of lingerie like Lejaby, Princess Tam Tam and Piege. Let us get you into a beautiful, well-fitting bra for less than any other day of the year.
Just have to know what's happening before Friday? No problem, we have you covered. Just come in this week and we'll give you a sneak peak and access to the Market Day deals.
It's going to be beautiful, sunny and an event you won't want to miss. See you there.
Prima Donna comes from the Italian, literally meaning first lady. And while a president's wife rarely makes an appearance at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we do feel that our Prima Donna lingerie puts women first.
Some lingerie lines are cheeky enough to size only the slightest of women, but the beautiful Prima Donna Stockholm, above, is available all the way up to an H cup. It arrived just this week and comes in ocean blue, with matching thongs and panties available.
Prima Donna is known for its fine embroidery and romantic feel. It's designed to flatter a woman's curvaceous body. Wearers tell us they feel seductive in this luxurious line, beautifully adorning figures of all types.
And with looks like the Stockholm, any woman wearing it knows that she is put first.
Many women who walk through our doors aren't looking for tulle or lace; they're looking for a beautiful basic best that can guarantee comfort in a range of sizes. For these women, we point them towards Wacoal. Here are three of our favorites.
Wacoal creates the front contour bra, seen right, with just a hint of lace, starting in size 32AA for the more petite woman looking to create a delicate feminine shape. We love that this allows us to fit very petite women with a bra that allows them to choose their level of shape with removable "cookies" of padding.
The Wacoal beautiful basic seen left provides superior comfort and support in a calla lily jacquard fabric across the cups. Women dressed in this can expect to see a subtle, smooth silhouette due to this bra's light padding, creating shape and not size. This bra offers full coverage and seamless shaping in a range of sizes. We love this bra because the straps over the shoulders are wide, ensuring they don't dig in, and the generous band across the back, including four hooks, ensures comfort. We particularly love it in the new fashion colour of stone blue.
And finally, this beauty basic has been in our drawers for years at the behest of many of our clients. Outstanding construction and a seamless stretch cup without being molded or padded make it unique. This beauty basic bra is designed to flatter fuller figures and has double-padded underwires for maximum comfort.
We love and wear these bras ourselves because even if you're not looking for french lace and frills, we know that underwear matters.
When people think of silk they often think of shiny, restrictive, stretch-free fabrics, but with Kim Allan Silks nothing could be further from the truth. Kim Allan Silks produces comfortable, ultra-breathable, nonrestrictive, sensible, everyday, silk garments.
Kim Allan Silks are a woven silk with long fibres allowing for stretching and flexing with your body. It remains smooth against the body making it perfect for sleeping uniquely keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
The Top Five Reasons People Love Kim Allan Silk
These silks are perfect for travel. You can toss them into your luggage and rest-assured they will still look great at your destination. They are also easy to hand-wash with shampoo in your Parisian hotel room's petite sink, and they dry in a snap.
Silk is perfect for the hot flashes and night sweats of menopause. Silk breathes better than other fabrics and wicks away fabric keeping you dry and sound asleep.
Silk is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. The garments are so light and delicate they are preferred for conditions like post-radiation.
Used under clothing, the silk provides warmth without bulk.
No fabric has all the amazing properties of silk: absorbency, comfort, strength and weightlessness. And Kim Allan Silks takes these attributes and transforms them into sensible silks for every body.
Secret Drawers Lingerie has carried Kim Allan Silks for years and they continue to remain popular thanks to their timeless designs and versatility. We carry a loungewear collection including pieces like a chemise and a long gown in 70/30 Silk/Cotton blend. This blend retains the properties of silk but creates a more opaque garment that can be worn at home or out to a summer dinner al fresco.
We also carry the 100% silk line which includes french and full cut underwear, long and short shirts, a camisole with adjustable straps, and more. This season, look for colours like red pepper (seen right) and eggplant.
By devoting the last 13 years to creating luxurious undergarments, Kim Allan proves that underwear matters.
