Azaleas
East Village - New York, NY United StatesThere was a time when if you wanted anything more intricate than cotton briefs you'd have to look across the Big Pond. Azalea is testament to how times have changed. High-brow (and high-priced) lingerie are passed over in favor of super-cute...
Bettina
Presidio Heights - San Francisco, CA United StatesBettina carries the brands carried by most other chic boutiques in San Francisco. But, what sets Bettina apart is their ability to introduce new brands to San Francisco. Among the usual suspects you are likely to find a small designer that makes...
Bittersweet Butterfly
Silverlake - Los Angeles, CA United StatesCombining flowers, chocolates and lingerie? Why did no one think of this earlier. Bittersweet Butterfly certainly seems like the perfect Valentine's day gifting destination, but it's pretty darn delightful the rest of the year as well....
Catriona MacKechnie
Meatpacking District - New York, NY United StatesCatriona Mackechnie--finally a lingerie store not trying to look like a girly boudoir.

Faire Frou Frou
Studio City - Studio City, CA United StatesOne of the powers of womanhood, other than the ability to wear skirts and pants, is the ability to make everything we wear pretty. Think about this, has the male undergarment changed since the time of Troy? On the other hand, women have gotten a chance to engage in all sorts of corsetry....
Footsie
Montana Avenue - Santa Monica, CA United StatesConsidering the unassuming store-front and jumbled window, it's hard to imagine the treasures you will find at Footsie. Carrying just about every major European brand (and select American brands), the store is a great introduction to...

Kiki de Monparnasse
Melrose Heights - Los Angeles, CA United StatesImagine that, someone actually managed to create a sex shop that's actually sexy (and not gross or creepy).
