When Carys Martin, one of Intimo’s top leaders contacted me and asked if I’d like to meet with her to discuss a possible collaboration, I was a bit worried.
You see I have a very strict policy here on the blog that I will only work with brands that concepts that I adore and/or I know you will too. And while I’d heard very good things about the Intimo brand, the first thing that sprung to my mind was ‘uh oh, party plan.’
Now if you’re a friend of mine, you’ll know that my standard response to any invitation involving a party plan style afternoon goes something like this: “Look, I’d rather poke my eyes out with a burning stick while trapped in a room surrounded by nothing but vanilla scented candles than come to your (insert party of choice here) but if there’s wine, I guess I’ll come. What time does the torture start?”
Because at 43 years of age, I’ve got enough plastic containers in my kitchen and I don’t really want to spend my Saturday afternoons playing games with neighbours while forking over large quantities of cash for items I don’t actually need!
Intimo: The New Way to Bra Shop
I explained this to Carys when we met and it turns out I had nothing to worry about at all!
Carys prefers to run her Intimo get togethers like they’re a pop up bra boutique, displaying the items on offer and then providing one on one personalised fitting services to anyone who would like it. It’s quick, easy and there’s not a game or long-winded lecture in sight!
Being the bra fitting professional that she is, Carys bought a sample kit with her to our meeting and asked me if I’d like a fitting. I agreed but was confused as to how Carys knew what size bras to bring with her? “Oh I already know what bra size you are. I looked at a couple of photos on your Instagram feed and figured it out.” And what do you know? She was bang on!
The sample bras Carys bought with her were the perfect fit and within five minutes we’d worked out that either the Intimo contour or support bras were the styles for me. The only thing left to do was flick through the catalogue and choose from the various collections on offer. Honestly, it was so much easier than my usual way of bra shopping, which involves taking a dozen or so different bras into a change room and generally leaving with nothing.
