One of the things we love about running an independent lingerie and swimwear store is that we get full control over which brands we stock. We only carry products we truly believe in, and we’re happy to tell our customers all about why we’ve chosen to work with each brand in our collection.
Today, we want to tell you a little more about our favourite Canadian lingerie company, Montelle. There are three main reasons why they have a special place in our hearts (and on our shelves!).
1. They Really Are Canadian
Let’s start with the biggest thing we think sets Montelle apart: they’re truly a Canadian company.
While their products are made in WRAP-certified factories in the Philippines, all their lingerie is designed by Canadian fashion professionals and textile engineers. The finished pieces are also stored in Canadian warehouses before being shipped out to consumers like you.
Both of these aspects of production provide good jobs for Canadians and inject money into our country’s economy. The design process also gives Canadian creatives the opportunity to see their ideas brought to life as real, tangible products.
The company has even supported Canadian causes like the Cedars Breast Cancer Program at McGill University Health Center. That’s the kind of patriotism we love to see.
2. They’re Extremely Plus-Size Friendly
It’s not always easy for curvy ladies to find lingerie that really works for them. Sizing has gotten a lot more inclusive over the years, but many brands still make most of their products with A to D cup sizes in mind.
Montelle knows that women come in all shapes and sizes, and they do everything they can to make their quality lingerie more accessible to ladies who fall outside the typical size range. Almost all of their bras are available in identical plus-size versions, with cup sizes as large as G and band sizes of up to 42. Most of their panties go up to size XXXL and look just as cute as the smaller sizes.
3. They Balance Style and Comfort
We all love to look at pretty lace or satin bras, but far too many of them are tough to wear for more than an hour or two. Sturdier bras exist, sure, but they often feel like a compromise. Bras that are both cute and comfortable are rare finds.
Montelle’s bras feel as good as they look, providing gentle support that lifts and shapes your breasts without tightness or chafing. They build their bras with features that prioritize comfort, including soft adjustable straps and an innovative U-shaped back design that offers extra smoothing and support. They use materials like nylon-spandex blends that are known for their moisture-wicking properties, and they even include cute details like tiny metal charms to dress up their plainer pieces.
