Bratopia Inc

102 4 St Ne, Calgary, AB T2E 3R9

OK, so this is directed at the ladies, but men pay attention as well. Undergarments are an important part of the look and feel of any evening outfit. Going out in style requires that we slip into our best “intimates.” For underthings that fit your body perfectly, visit the ladies at Bratopia. They are extremely attentive, and the Edmonton Trail shop features a sexy selection of styles and sizes. Need a new bathing suit for a post-club hot tub session? Bratopia has them, too.

I love consignment stores. One can walk in with clothing that you no longer want, find incredible fashion gems, and walk out with smokin' hot outfits at bargain prices. Better on You Consignment carries both men’s and women’s clothing and accessories, and you can follow the shop’s latest acquisitions on Facebook and Instagram. Ask about booking the place for a private shopping party complete with wine and cheese.
