Knix is a Canadian company. Most of their sales are online, but they have a few brick and mortar…read morestores. Luckily for us Ottawans, we recently got one of their stores in our city. Admittedly, I had never heard of this company until they opened up the store in my neighbourhood. Knix sells comfortable and functional underwear. The owner once said that in the women's underwear world there's too much frills, not enough function. Now don't get me wrong, there's a time and place for sexy as all get-out but uncomfortable as heck lingerie, lol, but there are also times when comfort should reign, at the expense of sex appeal, haha. (If anyone knows of a brand that is the best of both worlds, let me know). In all fairness, I guess their underwear could be seen as girl-next-door attractive, but definitely not vavavoom vixen hot, at least not in my opinion ;) Knix sells seamless comfortable basic looking underwear (panties and bras). Their panties range from $23-$48. Their bras are $50-$98. They also sell comfy clothes to lounge around the house in. Prices are $50+. In addition to regular everyday underwear, they also sell specialty items like nursing bras, and panties with extra absorbance for incontinence and for menstruation. Their models are of all shapes, sizes, ages and races. They are very inclusive and "real life." This store is big with lots of open space. They have samples on display and when you purchase, they get you a new one from the back storage room that other people have not manhandled (I like this). Staff are friendly and helpful. Street parking only.

I was dismayed to find Grenier the Canadian brand I was wearing is no longer in business. I had several failed fitting attempts at other places. No one's fault. I was giving up hope.

I went on YouTube to see how to properly size myself but realized from reading info online that I might be better off visiting a specialty bra boutique for fitting and consult since it seems size varies by manufacturer. I found out about Brachic via Google search but then a friend of mine also mentioned them so we decided to go together for a visit. We were cheerfully greeted by the staff and asked if it was our first time to the shop. Then we were asked what we were looking for. I was introduced to my fitter Maryanne who was just lovely. She took me to a private room where my concerns and taste in bras was discussed and then she brought a selection of bras. I tried several on to narrow choice of style and support level and I ended up choosing 2 bras. The price point is on the high end but this is a garment you wear daily and after this fitting I honestly can say that the foundation you wear makes all the difference not only to how your clothes fit but to how you physically feel better with a proper fitting, supportive bra! It is so worth every penny! It boosted my confidence to see how nicely my shirts fit with the right bra and to be able to wear a tank top again feels amazing. The ladies told me how to properly care for the bra so it lasts a long time and gave such helpful tips. This is a fantastic shop and I will be back to get more bras. It also feels great to support a local Ottawa business!

Another store that I am so happy to have come to Ottawa, and have been patiently waiting to visit…read moresince it has opened. If you love dropping money on fancy lingerie, and undergarments, then you will be in HEAVEN!!! Maybe this is too much information, but I am CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP, when it comes to these things, and only a good sale may suck me in to purchase such items like this at places like Victoria Secret. But, I just had to check this store out!! I browsed through in the dimly lit store, UNTIL I found displays after display of MAKEUP!! I quickly ran to the back of the store and started swatching eye shadows and bronzers all over my hand. A lot of items actually caught my eye but I could not find price tags on ANY of the items. I searched and searched on the packaging, the displays, basically ripping everything apart. I made a mess, and thought maybe I can grab the attention of sales associate, but nope, everyone was busy merchandising trying to get the new shipment out on the shelves. Finally I found an associate at the cash and got a price check only to find that not only is the lingerie expensive, but the makeup is too. I did not want to play the guessing game regarding the prices for each makeup item, so i made my way out of the store and thought it was not meant to be.... Until I found the displays of perfumes, to which I sprayed myself with some yummy scents and went on my way. At the end of the day, this is a very nice store, with a lot of selection and stunning pieces. The layout is perfect, and it is not too crowded. Customer service was basically non existent and not visible, but I am sure if you need assistance and track some one down, they will be glad to help...hopefully!

Cute little consignment store in the Bell Mews Plaza. It's set up like a boutique and doesn't have…read morethat musty smell that some consignment stores have. They have a "Designer Corner" with higher end brands. They have clothes, handbags, shoes and accessories. They have a mix of luxury brands like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. contemporary brands like Coach, Kate Spade, etc. and regular brands like Nine West, Naturalizer, etc. From what I have seen and handled their luxury items are authentic. I have to say that it's a huge pet peeve of mine when stores sell replicas, so I'm happy to say that I haven't seen any fakes here. Prices are comparable to other consignment stores, but they have 50% off sales occasionally. Lots of free parking in the plaza.

My only suggestion is do not go to that store, the owner Linda is there to make money and sell…read morewhatever prostheses and bras she has in stock. She doesn't care about her customers. I had two mastectomies, she keeps saying yes this is what you need, the prostheses were to big for me but she insisted for me to get them. I return the next day and told her that I wanted a smaller size Linda was so frustrated at me, she wrote in big letters NO EXCHANGE OR REFUND on my receipt. After spending over $2,000 in bras, prostheses and swimsuit. She also charges me $100 for the camisole that you need when you get out of the hospital. Kelly's Boutique give them away. Linda is there only to take your money. The only reason why she wanted me to get the bigger size was that she only had 1 prostheses of my size she had to order another one. Linda the owner is NOT pleasant at all when I had my appointment she asked me to make space for other customers that I was taking to much time even if I had an appointment. I had reconstruction after 5 surgeries and went they're again to find a bra big mistake. I ran in to Linda she said long time no see, I explain to her that I had 5 surgeries and looking for a bra but I have one breast a little smaller. She said and you never gave up with an attitude? Without even looking at me she said you need a 1/2 prostheses, I respond no I don't want a prostheses and I don't need a prostheses. With attitude she argues with me and than said to the young girl selling bras, she needs a prostheses but doesn't want any help her out. The young lady measured me and said your breast have a very small differences let me bring you some bras. After 3 bras she found one that was the proper size. Never again to that store! We should have her close her store, Linda should NOT have any business of any kinds.
