The Blossom of Splendor line is ultra-feminine, youthful and flirty. Come in to see just how comfortable flirtation can be.

We're just swimming in new designs right now. Winter may have brought the rain but it also brought us the latest in style. Today's new piece is by Kenan.

Kenan is a Canadian line we have been proud to carry for years. To the right you can see Kenan's latest chemise. This chemise, in the finest silk, is available in colours mink and black (as shown) or magenta and black.

The black lace at the bust isn't just for an elegant and feminine look, it's also for bosom support. Unlike so many other chemises, this style will lend a hand to your womanly curves.

New Lisa's Folly Luxe by Kenan in this week. This babydoll set creates a mood of ease and elegance for the wearer. It's a body-skimming chemise matched with tap pants (similar to shorts) tied at the sides.

Silk is the word. At Secret Drawers Lingerie we sell many types of silk and many silk pieces both for lounging and for sleeping. The NKiMode Sensuous chemise, may have you wanting to do both.

NKiMode is by Kenan, makers of Lisa's Folly, Frou Frou and Frou Frou Living. They specialize in fine silk delicates and robes. 

The Sensuous chemise in ink is 93% silk with an added 7% spandex to make it comfortable no matter which way you turn. The lace is also made of a stretch fabric to hug you close.

We love the transparent panels on the sides. It provides an updated detail to a classic design.

Is it time to snuggle up yet?

Fall has arrived and with it, the need to cover up a little more when flitting about at home. Secret Drawers Lingerie offers a variety of robe designs to meet your unique needs.

New in-store are robe designs by Frou-Frou, a collection from Canadian designer Kenan.

We have robes with a traditional front tie or a zip-up (as seen left).

Frou-Frou's Between the Lines, seen above, is a three-quarter legnth, hooded,  front-tied robe in angel blue with almond piping. We have additional designs in sweet lilac and pale green.

Frou-Frou also offers full pant and top pajamas in pink and midnight navy. Details of Frou-Frou designs include flattering lines, contrasting piping and blanket stiching.

We have a new secret in our drawers: New Frou Frou in lavender, pink and pale mint.

Frou Frou is one of the lines from Canadian company Kenan. It represents a particularly feminine touch in delicate sleepwear.

Part of the Frou Frou autumn / winter 2011 collection is the Opera chemise, seen right. Romantic, pink, stretch lace is seen atop a silken jersey. 

If you prefer a traditional pant and shirt pajama option, the Picture Perfect, seen left, might be for you.

This pajama set has floral printed, pants and button-up top with full-sleeves. The pjs are a cotton / bamboo blend, soft right off the hanger.

The Frou Frou Picture Perfect have a waist with drawstring and elastic as well as satin piping on the sleeve and collar. Details also include pearlized buttons with raised ridges.

We think both looks will give you sweet dreams.

We love getting a great deal. We love the feeling of finding something perfect for just less than the perfect price. It makes signing the receipt that much sweeter.

That's why we're pleased to offer 30% off on Kenan silks and Philippe Matignon camisoles.


Philippe Matignon is better known for legwear but now is the perfect time to try out Philippe Matignon camis. They are the perfect thing to layer under your summer blouse as the weather starts to move towards fall.

Pack for Your Cruise

To look great on the desk, check out the new designs for summer: Hanky Panky's new spring colours, silken creations by Kenan and Mary Green, Chantelle and Prima Donna.

Canadian born Kenan makes collections like the NK iMode, frou-frou and FF-Lifestyle. Each collection's name evokes its own, unique feeling. Lisa's Folly seems to suggest Lisa's foolish, but only if foolishness is draped in silk and lace.

To the right is the Truffle/Honey, part of Kenan's Lisa's Folly - Luxe line for the summer. The Truffle/Honey is a chemise in a lavender, known by Lisa as iris bliss. Honey lace adorns the neckline and peeks through a daring slit.

To the left is another example of honey lace accents. This time on the Lisa's Folly - Luxe, blue angel babydoll set. This isn't your average babydoll - this one keeps it fun and young with a racer back.

And if colours aren't making their way into your underwear drawer, then we also have the Hayworth: a sexy slip with scalloped edges in midnight black (not shown). The Hayworth adds elegant sophistication in knee-length silk and lace.

We've found that no matter which collection we pick from Kenan, they're an amazing example of why underwear matters.

In the tradition of supporting Canadian product lines, we have new Kenan NK iMode pieces now available. Their spring/summer 2011 line is awash in ivory, coral and cobalt.

To the right is the Marvelous deep back chemise paired with its matching belted kimono. Like traditional kimonos, this silken version sports judo sleeves with generous trim running the length of the robe and at the cuffs. The nature-inspired cobalt detailing on the kimono takes this look from simple luxury to luxurious beauty.

Next, on the left is the Kenan NK iMode Tremendous camisole and matching boxer short in cobalt blue. This design combines classic cami and boxer lines but adds generous, floral, lace bands on both the cami and the short.

The Tremendous is available in a long, flowing gown in addition to the cami and boxer short set. The Tremendous gown has full cups of tone-on-tone lace and provides some bust support. The long gown is available in a more subdued, porcelain blue.

Finally, we see the introduction of coral into the line with the Fabulous vintage long gown. Styled as a dress, you might just want to go from the bedroom straight to a relaxed garden party (perhaps with a cami underneath the sheer fabric). The print is flower-reminiscent, but abstract so you don't compete with the blooms at the party.

Flared details are seen around the neckline and zinnia lace provides additional bust detailing on the Fabulous.

Kenan works to provide a variety of silhouettes in the NK iMode line. All shapes, sizes and ages can find a piece of Kenan that provides an everyday luxury experience.

We get excited when we get to feature a beautiful product line from Canada, and the sleepware and lingerie by Kenan, is just such a line.

For the summer we have brought in several new pieces. Seen right is the Kenan iMode Daphne bust cut chemise. It's in a coral silk charmeuse with a black lace bust, complete with a crystal in the center of the bustline. This chemise is light, figure-skimming and offers extra ease with stretch in its fabric. This is the perfect piece in which to flounce about the house and then slip straight into bed. Combine it with the floral kimono for flair or a little extra coverage while sipping cocktails on the back deck.

We carry the Kenan iMode Morgan, seen right, year-long in a variety of seasonal colours, but just to tempt you, this is its design for the winter collection in barolo wine with black lace. This design is an extra touch of elegance in an already luxurious line.

More styles and colours have been brought in for summer, ranging from demure to exotic. Come into Secret Drawers Lingerie to find the one right for you.

Elegance? Body-skimming silk that stretches? Floral and deep tones? There is no doubt, for Kenan, underwear matters...
