MODERN MATCH LINGERIE

Give the gift of empowerment to the women who inspire you everyday.
Made in Northern B.C., Modern Match Lingerie creates armour for women — in the form of beautifully-designed and comfortable fitting bras and underwear — so that they can feel confident as they tackle the day.
A customer favourite, Modern Match’s Front Closure Wireless Bra is an intuitive, supportive piece designed to live with the wearer. The cups are lined with a breathable power net to give shape and support. With a wide band for extra support, it’s the perfect bra for low-impact sports like yoga, cycling, kayaking, and Zoom meetings. The Wireless Bra is best paired with the ultra-light, ultra-silky, and ultra-breathable Go-To Thong, which can compliment tight leggings with no underwear lines.
What’s unique about each piece in Modern Match Lingerie’s collection is that they focus on elevating modern women with a modern fit, embracing and celebrating all bodies as equally strong and beautiful.
Shipping is available throughout B.C. and Canada. For more info, visit modernmatchlingerie.com.

Free next day delivery is available in the Vancouver area with delivery options available BC-wide, with Dec 22nd being the last day for delivery orders before Christmas Day.
