Bare Basics Lingerie

Chantelle

Chantelle is not only one of our longest-standing lines, but it is also the first French brand we ever carried. For more than 40-plus years, it has outfitted three generations of our family through different stages of our lives. Since 1876, the Chantelle line has been an innovative leader in lingerie design. Their designs range from the basics to fashion wear and cover all styles while maintaining a luxury reputation and modest pricing. Much of our repeat business results from customers purchasing a Chantelle bra.

Empreinte

We have to admit it — our staff is in love with Empreinte bras. Once a client feels an Empreinte bra on her body, she wants to purchase it and never look back. We feature Empreinte's Melody line, which boasts five different styles. From lacy and moulded, to plunging necklines and full cups, Melody has it all. These bras are smooth fashion at its finest. Empreinte is a unique brand that makes a different wire for each bra size, leading to a more accurate fit. Plus, their bras are made in Brest, France — need we say more?

Felina

We have two favourite Felina bras, and both are extremely popular. The first is a three-quarter style lace bra with a full-cup fit for the client who wants both beauty and structure. The other, fondly known as the "leaf bra" due to its embroidered leaf motif, is a smoother fit. Our Canadian importer feels so strongly about this bra, he has financially supported making a nude version available to the Canadian market.

La Perla

The name La Perla is synonymous with luxurious and fashionable lingerie. We are excited to introduce several new exquisite pieces to our stores.

Lise Charmel

A beautiful French designer brand, Lise Charmel bras are crafted with opulent fabrics and delicate embroidered detail. Lise Charmel offers the ultimate in sensual lingerie. Bare Basics is excited to introduce this line at its West 10th location.

Marie Jo

One of our fastest-growing brands, we attribute Marie Jo’s popularity to its range of available styles. From strapless to nursing, sports to push-up and smooth to lacy, this fashion-conscious brand has it. Women of all ages appreciate this Prima Donna sister company.

Passionata

Passionata is known for its bright, bold and beautiful bras. This sister company to Chantelle, Passionata is a great starting point for young women who have never worn a French bra. It is trendy, flirty and priced just right if you are looking for quality lingerie under the hundred-dollar mark. We love Passionata's fashion-forward selection, which is always up to date on the latest colour trends.

Prima Donna

Prima Donna lingerie offers our customers practical elegance with great support and structure. These bras are not only beautiful and timeless but also consistent in fit, style and quality. Prima Donna offers both basic and fashion bras in an extensive range of sizes for a fuller bust, from 30 to 46 band size. These beautiful bras have a loyal following at Bare Basics, and their variety of brief styles meets the needs of any customer.

Simone Perele

Simone Perele offers the Andora bra, which is perfect for customers looking for a t-shirt bra that feels light on the body. It was one of the first companies to introduce the 3D moulding system designed to provide lightweight, flexible support.

Hanky Panky

Hanky Panky is rumored to convert even the most skeptical thong critic. Although best known for their signature lace thongs, Hanky Panky offers an extensive assortment of styles. We adore their bright, playful prints and never-ending array of colours. These make great bridal gifts — believe us when we say that they are the "slipper of all thongs."

Commando

If you need a solution for fitted garments that require a seam-free existence, then Commando panties have several options for you. Available in a rainbow of colours in both a nylon spandex and a cotton-spandex blend, Commando specializes in precision laser-cut panties and slips that lay flat against the body. Not a thong lover? Commando low-rise girl shorts may be the perfect brief for you.

Private Arts

Just when we thought the bandeau went away with the seventies, Private Arts brought it back to life with a fresh and innovative take. Hand drawings, graphic designs and photographs are individually hand-pressed onto these one-of-a-kind garments. Matching tanks, thongs and panties are also available. It’s like wearing a work of art on your body.

Bed Head

We love this line of comfortable, quality pajamas, as they stand the test of time. Not only is the craftsmanship top notch, but Bed Head's one-of-a-kind, bold and beautiful prints make them very unique. Try a pair and see why Oprah selected them as one of her favourite things!

Kenan

Kenan creates several brands of sleepwear. You will find NK iMode, Frou Frou and Lisa's Folly at both Bare Basics locations. All brands are designed in Vancouver with the West Coast woman in mind. Their pieces are feminine, functional and flirty. We love these lines because they offer natural fabrics and new styles while maintaining classic silhouettes.

PJ Salvage

If you are looking for comfortable, fashion-forward sleepwear, PJ Salvage has exactly what you need. This brand is known for transforming nightwear into chic loungewear, with its fresh prints and luxurious fabrics. You will love sleeping in these, and feel good about answering the door in them, too.

Diamond Tea

Diamond Tea robes have been a staple in Bare Basics stores since the beginning, and for good reason. Best known for beautifully crafted, top-quality robes and loungewear, Diamond Tea robes are always a favourite for those wanting to give a thoughtful gift. Beyond their exceptional quality, these robes are proudly designed and manufactured in Canada. This family-owned and operated business has been outfitting women in comfort for more than 60 years.

Garneau Slippers

Once you slip on a pair of these Canadian-made beauties, your feet will be in instant bliss. Garneau shearling slippers are remarkably cozy, keeping your feet toasty in the cold winter months and cool in the summer. These comfortable slippers are available in shin huggers and slip-on mules and come in a wide range of colours. They make a perfect gift for any occasion!

Bra(g)

As Vancouver girls, we have to give props to our fellow Canuck Jane Webb, creator of the innovative bra travel case, Bra(g).

Are you tired of arriving at your destination with squished t-shirt bras? This case is by far the most stylish solution. Pack it last with the flat side up, and it will use a minimal amount of space. We love to coordinate our tops and bottoms, and Bra(g) offers matching panty packs as well.

Love it!

Forever New

We trust Forever New Fabric Wash to take good care of all our lingerie and delicates. This citric-based miracle soap aids in breaking down outside elements and natural oils that tend to stick to your undergarments. We love that it is now available in liquid form and a large refill size. Please check out our FAQ page for more washing advice.

Bodywraps

If you are looking for seamless-shape wear, then look no further than Body Wrap. Made in Canada and offering a wide range of control garments, Body Wrap will smooth out that little black dress or those unforgiving fabrics.
