Being recognized as the Best New Lingerie Store in the United States is a significant honor, symbolizing that our store has excelled in a highly competitive and specialized market. This title reflects our commitment to exceptional customer service, innovative product offerings, and a unique shopping experience. To us, it indicates Circadian Intimates has successfully captured the attention and admiration of both customers and industry professionals, setting a new standard for quality and style in the intimate apparel sector.

 

INTIMA magazines CEO Francesca Spinetta delivered a keynote speech at The Best of Intima Awards gala and reminded us of the importance of every single person in the industry: "This is a human-centric business where individuals are essential and can make all the difference." We believe this to be true based on the personal interactions we have every hour with customers. We hear your stories, we share laughs, we sometimes cry, but most of all – we appreciate and enjoy every single moment with you.

 

The Kansas City Lingerie Scene

Being honored as a Finalist for the Best New Lingerie Store in the United States speaks volumes to the amazing women in Kansas City who have supported Circadian Intimates in the last year. It not only validates our vision and efforts on a national scale but also elevates our reputation and impact within the local community.

 

To be honest, we are trying to replace Victoria’s Secret in our market. There, I said it. We believe in smart fitting, beautiful lingerie that makes a woman feel supported, comfortable, and confident. Finding that exact fit requires not only a wide array of styles – it requires talented fitters who know how to fit bras properly and encourage women into the styles best fit for the body. We haven’t experienced that at big-box chain stores, which is why we invested in the Circadian Intimates idea and brought it to life in Kansas City.

 

We aim to not just meet the needs of you - our customers - but also set new standards in the industry. This kind of recognition brings a sense of pride to the Kansas City community, where we can turn around and support other women-owned small businesses.
