Cou Cou Intimates is redefining lingerie and taking it out of the bedroom and into the world. Cou Cou’s whimsy romanticism is stealing hearts from celebrities, influencers and fashion girlies alike and we consider ourselves very lucky to give Cou Cou a Vancouver home at Hill’s Dry Goods. As an exclusive retailer of Cou Cou Intimates, we are so excited to share why we are so cou-cou for Cou Cou.
Going Cou Cou
A note from Katrina Fekete, our fashion director on why we're so in ❤ with Cou Cou Intimates:
“We were instantly drawn to the feeling of femininity and whimsy that Cou Cou Intimates evokes and realized these pieces are very wearable wardrobe staples. We love the concept of wearing undergarments like slips, skirts and cami`s around the house and out in the wild IRL. Cou Cou Intimates has created easy essentials that have that rare combination of sexy and comfortable. We are confident in the Cou Cou Intimates quality and mindfulness of their production, as the importance of organic cotton intimates is top of mind for our buy team, from a sustainability and well being perspective. Not only does Cou Cou look good on you, you can feel confident that it's good for you.”
Redefining Intimates
We love how Cou Cou Intimates embodies playful, romantic femininity while pursuing a sustainable supply chain and they are hard at work on educating us as to why it’s so important to wear organic intimates.
Choosing organic intimates is a simple yet impactful way Cou Cou Intimates prioritizes both your personal wellness and the health of the planet. Traditional undergarments, often treated with harsh chemicals and composed of synthetic blends, naturally break down through frequent laundering, shedding microfibers into our waterways. Beyond the environmental footprint, there is the proximity to consider: because these fabrics sit closest to your skin, organic materials ensure that your most delicate areas are free from chemical absorption and irritation.
Certifiably Cou Cou
Cou Cou Intimates is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and their fabrics are rigorously tested to ensure they’re free from toxic chemicals like heavy metals, pesticides, and hormone-disrupting substances. Naturally hypoallergenic and recommended by gynecologists, Cou Cou’s are gentle on your skin.
(Cou Cou) Intimates, Reimagined
As difficult as it is to narrow down, here are our top five (plus one) most wearable pieces from Cou Cou:
The Midi Slip
The Cou Cou Intimates Midi slip is a reimagined classic that you can wear for everyday comfort or a flirty night out. The Midi Slip is as effortless to wear as it is to slip-on and can be worn as a slip skirt or on its own. We love the pointelle cotton for extra breathability, subtle flounce hem and scalloped picot trim but most of all we love the tiny bow in the center of the waist 🎀.
The Midi Slip Dress
Say bonjour to your new favourite LBD. We love the Cou Cou Intimates Midi Slip Dress for its wearable, breathable and flirty silhouette. While the feminine details are swoon-worthy, its minimal cut serves as a balance so you can wear this LBD out on the town and the pointelle cotton ensures you can wear this on warm days without overheating. We love the delicate, adjustable straps, bow detailing and lace trim. Pair with casual footwear for a coffee and croissant run or cute heels for a night out.
The Long Cami
Consider the Cou Cou Intimates Long Cami as the little sister to The Midi Sleep Dress. Available in White, Black, Cherry Red and Blue Fields. We love the cut and fit of the Cou Cou Intimates cami’s for the nostalgic take on the undershirts we wore as kids. The mini bows that connect the thin straps to the tank and subtle ruffle hem create a grown up throwback look that we can’t get enough of. Honorable mention goes to the adjustable straps so you can find your perfect length. The versatility of The Long Cami is something else we’re loving. Cou Cou Intimates thought of everything because you can match virtually every piece back to something, whether its The Thong, The High Rise Undies, The Cardigan, The Teeny Tiny Shorts and The Pant.
The Boxer
Crafted from soft organic French poplin and floral French lace, the simplicity of the Cou Cou Intimates Boxers complemented with lace trim, are so alluring we want to slip them on and climb back into bed. Available in White or Blue Check. If your schedule doesn't have room for a lazy morning lounging at home, feel free to wear them out for a coffee run, paired with an oversized tee shirt such as No. 6 Milos Tee in Navy Stripe or a cotton button up like Xirena’s Channing Shirt, for the ultimate off-duty look. If you really need to fly under the radar, we love The Baseball Hat from The Great in this classic varsity green.
The Scoop Tank
Our next lustworthy piece from Cou Cou Intimates is The Scoop Tank available in English Rose and Black. To say we are swooning over this tank would be an understatement because it’s probably borderline obsessive how cuckoo we’re going for this top. The simplicity of the neckline bares just enough skin to show a hint of decolletage and with the hemline hitting just at the belly button, you can tuck in or bare some midriff. This top is a perfect example of how Cou Cou Intimates approaches flirty ‘90s nostalgia. The Scoop Tank and can be paired with jeans, denim shorts (more on that from out denim shorts post) or simple skirt, such as the Dunst Satin Mini Skirt.

The Cardigan
The Cardigan is another versatile and wearable piece that can mix and match with any number of Cou Cou Intimates pieces or anything you already have in your wardrobe. Available in White and English Rose, these can be layered over the Long Cami and Balconette Bra. We love the idea of a full on pointelle look and you can achieve this with the English Rose print in The Pant. Whether you want to layer it on top of The Cami, The Scoop Tank or just the Balconette Bra is totally up to you.
Cou Cou à la carte
All of the Cou Cou Intimates pieces above have match-back options to The Thong, The High Rise underwear and the Teeny Tiny Shorts and we love the thoughtfulness that went into creating the collection.
