I feel lingerie helped me find myself again. Wearing lingerie is empowering, like having a little secret with yourself, reminding you to be confident, that you are beautiful and that you are worthy. I am a born-and-raised Victorian, so I knew Victoria was in need of a classy lingerie store with quality designers in the downtown core. But it wasn’t until a dear friend of mine said it out loud that I put it all together, and did it myself! I am excited to empower others with lingerie the way it has empowered me.

Why do you love lingerie?
Lingerie to me is all about the person wearing it — no one else! It is love letter to yourself! When I am having a bad day and I put on a matching set, suddenly I can conquer anything that comes my way!

Why Mel Lingerie?
I care deeply about the ethics and history behind the things people wear, and I love that this is a core belief at Mel Lingerie. Fast fashion is harmful, and I appreciate that we don’t contribute to that. I also love how personal the experience at Mel is. Every detail feels thoughtfully curated to make each person feel special and truly seen.

It’s such an honor to help people in such a vulnerable position. I love meeting their needs and seeing their faces light up when they see themselves in the mirror!

Favourite Local Business
Black Goat on Government Street and Hughes in Oak Bay.
Why do I love lingerie?
It allows you to celebrate your body. Lingerie is more psersonal, private, special and secretive than a beautiful dress or your favourite power suit. It’s something only you and maybe your partner will see. Yet, it can help empower you to feel like the goddess you are.
My Favourite Bra
Anything by Lise Charmel. This is a true luxury bra which is manufactured in Lyon, France. It is intricate and beautiful the detailing is too pretty to resist. I love the Calais lace.
Why do I enjoy working at ML?
I get great satisfaction in being in a role that I can make a small difference in someone’s life. ML allows me to have work-life balance experience. Of course, the quality of the products that I can offer ML clients is simply amazing.
