Philippe Matignon is an exclusive Italian brand of hosiery that is loved by both us and our clients. Philippe Matignon will dress up your legs with elegance and glamour.

Gone are the days when you would pick up a workhorse pair of hose at the drug store. Legs are now dressed as an exquisite outfit accessory.

From Philippe Matignon we have:

Tights
Stay-ups
Socks
Knee-highs
Leggings

We sell out of many items as some women look for high-fashion ways of keeping warm during the winter and others look to give these unique products as Christmas gifts.

Come in now to see all the varied designs and for the best selection.

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.

Join us at Secret Drawers Lingerie to see our sale pieces in person.

As promised, we now reveal more beautiful Philille Matignon; another spring fling.

Above is the Ethnique top and Ethnique leggings. These are a little more sophisticated than your average summer fare.

We're carrying the Ethnique by Philippe Matignon in brown, as above, but this black, close-up on the right allows appreciation of the fabric's delicate shine and classic tone-on-tone checkerboard pattern.

The straps crisscross into a keyhole detail at the bust, where the fabric gathers. It's almost impossible to see these pieces and not picture yourself lazying in the warming sun.

We have additional styles and colours so join us in-store to find the design that will make your beach wardrobe sing.

Beautiful pieces arrived this week, by Pilippe Matignon, that have everyone thinking of the warmth of sun on their shoulders.

True, we don't spend much of our time lying on the grass surrounded by flower petals, but it does express the feeling of this cheery, two-tone mini-dress and leggings. This is the Flocon with cotton leggings by Filippe Matignon.

The Flocon can be worn as a top or daringly as a dress, as seen above. A navy blue band is across the breasts while the body of the piece is a Persian blue. The navy gathers in a knot with ties left to dangle to the waist.

Stay tuned as we will be revealing more Philippe Matignon in the days to come...

The term "stockings" refers to a garment that covers the foot and lower-leg, while pantyhose actually refers to the toes to waist garment that women commonly wear now. These terms are currently often used interchangeably. Pantyhose proper weren't introduced into the market until 1959 and became a fashion necessity in the 1960's with the popularity of the mini-skirt.

We've come a long way since hand-sown silk, and stockings are now a fashion piece in their own right.

Trasparenze

Trasparenze is an Italian company, and while they offer a full-line of stockings, we bring in their particularly seductive pieces.On the right, is an example of a provocative Seisho design. This is one of our most seductive offerings as it appears to be an outfit of stockings, panties and a garter belt, but it actually is a one-piece pantyhose. This is sometimes known as garter hose. It is an 80-denier material, thick enough to hide any leg or thigh blemishes.

On the left is a Trasparenze JKay stay-up. It's more sheer in a 20 denier and sports red criss-crossing ribbons with a buckle at the thigh and ankle.

(Having trouble keeping track of your deniers? The larger the number, the more opaque the material. Most everyday sheer stockings are a 20 denier, but keep in mind each company's idea of a denier is different. More stocking and lingerie information can be found here.)

Voilà

We have carried Voilà in our stores for years for their everyday looks as well as something a touch more daring. Below an everyday pantyhose is shown with the ever-popular Voilà fishnet stay-up.


Philippe Matignon

Searching for more coverage? No problem, we can help you there too. Philippe Matignon offers a tight that is all the way at 180 denier. No need to have cold legs on a cool Vancouver Island morning this winter.

In-store, at Secret Drawers Lingerie, we have many more designs to suit any outfit or mood because whether you like coverage to your thigh or your waist, whether you're using them to seduce or stay warm, stockings are just another type of underwear that matters.
