BEST OF INTIMA AWARDS

Celebrating Excellence in Specialty Retail

Established in 2004, the Best of Intima Awards celebrate excellence in independent lingerie retail across the United States and Canada. Each year, a jury of leading intimate apparel brands evaluates specialty boutiques, recognizing those that stand out for their expertise, creativity, customer service and distinctive approach to retail.
Over the years, the Best of Intima Awards have established themselves as a privileged vantage point on the diversity and evolution of independent specialty retail across North America, while fostering meaningful connections between brands and retailers.
Each edition culminates in a gala evening in New York, bringing together leading intimate apparel brands and outstanding independent boutiques to celebrate retail excellence, professional expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.

THE MANIFESTO

Beyond the Perfect Fit

Independent lingerie boutiques offer something that no product, technology or online transaction can fully replace: the feeling of being understood.
Expert fitting, thoughtful advice and personal service remain at the heart of specialty retail. But what makes these stores truly special is the trust they build, the confidence they inspire and the lasting relationships they create.
The Best of Intima Awards celebrate this human dimension of retail, recognizing the expertise, dedication and everyday commitment that give independent boutiques their enduring value. Raed The Manifesto
