What is your perfect match? A velvet robe with a silk chemise? A long robe and a silk gown? Let us help you find the perfect Valentine’s Day lingerie for you. 

“To-morrow is Saint Valentine’s Day, All in the morning bedtime, and I a maid at your window, To be your Valentine.” Ophelia’s song of seduction, Hamlet, IV,5,2908.

Velvet Robe For Valentine’s Day Lingerie

Valentine’s Day has evolved and changed drastically throughout history, and continues to. But it has always been there, in various shapes and forms, from the more gruesome origins, to dear Ophelia, to what it has become today, holding second place next to Christmas for the busiest day of the year. It’s latest big change? While Valentine’s Day lingerie used to be marketed mainly towards men, the tables have turned. From silk lingerie to women’s velvet robes, lingerie designers are now predominantly marketing towards women.

Our feelings on the matter? What could be a more fitting time than Cupid’s Day to have your cake and eat it too? Whether you’re a gentlemen shopping for his sweetheart, or treating yourself to a well deserved little piece of luxury, we have something for you that is as chic as it is festive.

 

Our Guide to Exquisite Valentine’s Day Lingerie:

The Christine Lingerie team would like to take this opportunity to reflect on 2018 with gratitude and look forward to a bright new year ahead. This year was monumental for Christine Lingerie. We celebrated our 45th Anniversary, gave our showroom a beautiful makeover and continued to expand our lingerie and loungewear design-horizons, reaching new women everywhere. As a result, we are feeling filled with the spirit of Christmas. Therefore, we would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the little gems within this yearly milestone and thank all of the people who make Christine Lingerie the brand we are today.

Christine’s mission has always been to make women feel beautiful, inside and out. Her designs are derived from a sense of whimsy and romance, celebrating femininity and timeless beauty. It is no coincidence that her career began in bridal, because love itself has always been what Christine’s creations revolve around.

We would secondly like to acknowledge our incredible team, some of whom have been with us since 1983! Christine Lingerie put the spotlight on our talented seamstress, Alina Chang, as 2018 marks her 35th year working with us. Click here to read more about the special story behind Alina and Christine meeting and her journey with the brand. From design, to production, to sales, what our team has in common is a love for the brand, which is what truly separates us from other silk designers and makes our collections shine.

Our showroom makeover: Christine Lingerie is very proud of our Canadian roots so we were delighted to renovate and reinvent our flagship store in Vancouver, which is also our headquarters where all of the magic happens! We redesigned the interior, making the space more modern, chic and luxurious. If you are local, we invite you to come explore our silks first hand in the newly imagined space, where you will also have the opportunity to meet our team of incredible individuals who look forward to sharing the collection with you.

Gratitude for forty five years of support: As we mentioned, Christine Lingerie celebrated its 45th anniversary in November. You can read more about the history of our brand by clicking here, but we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge all of the incredible women who wear Christine’s silks, chiffons, velvets and more, season after season. It has been the greatest gift to see our pieces reach new women every year. We are always delighted to receive feedback, or see women posting photographs in Christine Lingerie on social media. So thank you, to everyone involved with our brand for your support, kindness and love over the past forty five years. Although the holidays are often filled with bustle, we are reminded that the heart of this season is really meant to give us pause. As we sit in our silk gowns, pajamas, and robes during the final days of this year, we look forward to a quiet moment to reflect and count our blessings. Wishing everyone a warm and beautiful holiday season and a most happy and bright new year. Thank you for being a part of our mission of beauty, femininity, romance and light.

In the 1985 November publication of City & Country Home, Christine declared that: “The look of romance from long ago is my inspiration. Ultimately, I want my designs to be what a woman reaches for when she wants to feel beautiful”. This still stands true today! As Christine Lingerie celebrates 45 years of business, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank our loyal clients for being with us since the beginning.

Christine and her sales team traveled to New York at the end of February to debut her new Fall ’17 collection. Not only was weather on the East Coast surprisingly agreeable, but the designer’s exquisite silk prints and lace detailing were met with enthusiasm from buyers. Some exceptional takeaways were the “Dark Romance” collection, featuring smoky florals in moody hues, and the elegant Gatsby lounge-wear group.

 

The team also enjoyed catching up with our darling model and muse, Katrina Eugenia. Fun Fact – did you know that Katrina styles and photographs all of Christine’s campaign shoots herself? That’s right, the beautiful photos that grace our website and catalogues are all self portraits!

 

We look forward to sharing a few little tidbits of the fall collection, which become available beginning in July, so stay tuned!
