High-end lingerie expert and enthusiast Abla Sqalli decided to launch her intimate apparel boutique in February 2019 in Casablanca’s chic and upbeat Golden Triangle neighborhood. Its name? Le Tiroir – the French for drawer. An exclusive store satisfying the desires of the Moroccan city’s more refined clientele.

Tucked away in the town of Manchester Centre in southern Vermont, this boutique was opened just over a year ago, after the previously existing lingerie store was purchased by former employees – it debuted a new name, a renovation, and a new focus.

To find their perfect fit, trendy styles, and welcoming staff, customers from near and far travel to the little boutique close to the banks of a river, in the heart of the bilingual city of Saint-Hyacinthe, in the province of Quebec.

In November 2019, the two co-founders gave a new dimension to their concept with the opening of Plouf: a unique collaborative store, 100% female.

Victoria Galysheva planned the grand opening of the Belleza boutique in the center of Nizhny Novgorod in March 2020, unfortunately, the global pandemic forced adjustments, and the opening had to be postponed until June.
