For women, putting your best foot forward is a combination of style, comfort and confidence. That process begins just after hopping out of the shower, putting on the "right" underwear and then perfecting it with the outfit, shoes and accessories. So whether you've been naughty or nice this year, there are some of life's curves you can control. Venetia Gibson jumped at the chance to offer women of all shapes and sizes the best in top international intimate apparel when her family made the decision to open up Cheeky Intimate Apparel Boutique. Gibson believes it's a need that is not being "filled" in the marketplace.
In this week's edition of the "Da Plunge", Gibson said Cheeky Intimate Apparel Boutique is "driven by the belief that every woman deserves to feel beautiful, and that no other apparel ignites her sensuality like lingerie". Cheeky Intimate Apparel, specializing in top international intimate apparel, including underwear, lounge and sleepwear and event planning, features designers like Chantelle, Passionata, Eberjey, Commando, Mimi Holliday, Addiction Lingerie and SPANX. Gibson added that the store's prices are extremely competitive to the U.S. Gibson pointed out how Cheeky Intimate Apparel is more than just an underwear store.
People don't place enough emphasis on purchasing underwear for comfort and support, she said. "We cater to mid to upper-end in intimate apparel. Our prices are extremely competitive to the U.S. One of the services that we offer is the ability for our customers to purchase items online. We can wrap it and deliver it to whatever address that you would like to go to. We carry bra sizes from A to H," she said. "We are currently offering brands that are not available locally and plus in sizes that are beyond DD. We find that a lot of ladies with bigger busts have a hard time finding the proper bra to fit them.
We specialize in carrying the best European lines that actually cater to bigger busted women." Now into its second month of operation, Gibson noted that the response from customers so far has been promising. "This has been in the works for the past six to nine months. It has taken us a bit longer than I would have liked to because we were looking for a location that would match the image that we want to convey. It took us a while to find a location," Gibson shared. She believes that the main goal is getting women to understand the importance of purchasing good underwear.
"I've seen scores of women with their thongs and bras exposed. It's important that your underwear is as well fitted and structured as the outfit. You can even compare it to building a house because without a solid foundation (underwear) the structure built upon it won't look right," according to Gibson. Although she is currently a one-woman crew, Gibson looks forward to building up a strong clientele and expanding the brand. "It's super important that Bahamian women understand the importance of good underwear.
We would really like to expand our clientele as much as possible. The response so far has been really positive. We carry the exact same brands that are sold in major department stores around the world. Hopefully, it will lead to the opening of another location in the future," she shared. Customers will also have the ability to purchase items online and have it personally delivered. Cheeky Intimate Apparel Boutique is located on Shirley & Buen Retiro Road and open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.
