La Vérité

Profile

This inviting Upper East Side lingerie store sets a relaxing scene with a lounge full of plush velvet couches and modern chandeliers. All of the delicately made bras, underwear, and clothing from the store’s namesake label are designed by a small team in New York and made in France, with a great deal of attention paid to fit and form. Offerings include other labels as well, and brides-to-be (and bridesmaids looking for gifts) can find pretty much every wedding necessity, from garters, silk slips, and specialty bras to elaborate bustiers, sexy black-lace Chantelle bras, and floor-length silk nightgowns for the honeymoon. Many of the undergarments are made with fine-quality silks and handmade lace, and there is also a selection of shapewear along with loungewear and casual clothing designed by Gypsy 05 and James Perse. — Nina Frazier
