Vancouver designer Satie Shotta creates panties with a purpose

By Lydia Millett | Image: Kaia Lingerie | Published: June 08, 2011

Vancouver's Kaia Lingerie line reminds us that there is more to underwear than meets the eye

In 2009 Vancouver designer Satie Shottha started designing scarves and leggings and then moved into lingerie, creating what is now the successful Kaia Lingerie line.

Made from eco-friendly fabrics right here in Vancouver, the line of feminine but functional underwear is a fusion of modernity and age old traditions. The panties come in a gorgeous array of vibrant hues from violet and turquoise, to yellow and orange, inspired by chakra colours that are believed to incite positive energy such as strength and courage.

Satie's designs have become popular with Canadian fashionistas and this year Bollywood stars such as Preity Zinta, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra will be donning her wares at the 2011 International Indian Film Festival in Toronto. However, it seems that along with a passion for fashion, it's big dreams and a strong sense of social responsibility that drives this talented businesswoman.  read more...http://www.granvilleonline.ca/eds-et-al/kaia-lingerie-panties-purpose

‎Kaia and Me designer Satie Shottha - whose knickers we love - is giving away a pair of panties for every pair purchased online or in store until November 19th. And on November 20th she'll be hand delivering Kaia and Me panties to women on the downtown eastside.

Her motivation? “I always wanted to help the community in some way. Last year I gave away scarves to the Youth shelter but this year I wanted to do it personally and spread awareness as well,” says Satie. “I used to give old clothes but everyone deserves new things.”

So if you need undies here's the perfect chance to get a bit of a glow while stocking up on sweet nothings.

Vancouver: Getting cozy with Kaia and Me lingerie

BY REBECCA TAY | JUNE 25TH, 2010 | 3:00 PM

I don’t have a new-found obsession with all things muff-related, I swear—it just seems serendipitous that the I Love My Muff products I wrote about recently arrived at my office a week before I heard about the launch of a new Vancouver-based line of lingerie.  Satie Shottha ofKaia and Me (kaialingerie.com), a line named for the Sanskrit word for body, started with just scarves and leggings, but’s she’s now expanded her brand to include underwear, chemises, camisoles, shorts, and tunics ($26 to $122), all made from an organic bamboo and cotton blend. I’ve test-driven the boy-shorts, which were soft and comfortable to wear, and featured a super-cute contrasting lace trim.

From scarves to leggings to lingerie, Vancouver label Kaia and Me kisses skin with the irresistible softness of bamboo cashmere

Kaia and Me is a local, organic clothing line that aims to bridge the body and soul together by using eco-conscious fabrics.

Beginning as a collection of scarves and leggings, Kaia and Me has expanded to include sleepwear, lingerie, shawls, t-shirts and yoga wear, all made with natural materials like cotton and bamboo.

Until November 19, 2010

Available at Twigg & Hottie,Granville Island Organix oronline.

Kaia and Me's garments are designed to balance the chakras, choosing particular colours for their corresponding effects, such as marigold orange to enhance playfulness and flow of emotions.Versatile clothing designs include scarves that can be worn as tops and shawls that can be worn as dresses.

Kaia and Me's boycut bamboo briefs.

The signature fabric that gives Kaia and Me's clothing its cashmere-like softness is bamboo, a fibre crop considered by many to be a sustainable material due to its fast-growing nature, with some species of the plant growing up to four feet per day. Bamboo is biodegradable and thrives without fertilizers and chemicals because it contains a substance called bamboo-kun—an antimicrobial, anti-fungal substance that also prevents skin irritations and odour when worn.

Kaia and Me's bamboo is grown in South Korea, processed into yarn in Turkey, knitted in California in a closed-loop process that recycles the majority of toxins before they're flushed into the water system, and garments are produced here in Vancouver.

KAIA AND ME STRAIGHTENS OUT YOUR KNICKERS!

Posted by Katrina Peralta on Monday, November 29, 2010 · Leave a Comment 

 

An exaggerated emotion of anger is often followed by the expression of telling someone to calm down by saying, “don’t get your knickers in a knot!” (I’m sure we’ve all heard that one before?)http://themodline.com/main/2010/11/29/kaia-and-me-straightens-out-your-knickers/
