La Petite Coquette

worst management ever

by bamasfam at Citysearch

This store has great lingerie. The only problem is the owner. Rebecca is scary. I was trying on a La Perla bra when she burst into the dressing room asking for my astrological sign. It took me completely off guard--I have never experienced such an unprofessional owner. She prides herself on the pictures displayed on the wall, yet she has no problem talking about the personal lives of her clients. This woman is the only downside to La Petite Coquette. Try Journelle instead.

The choices and service are superb

by DenverToo at Citysearch

I get to NYC several times a year with my girlfriend who loves to make it an afternoon with me here. She's small(36A). This is THE shop for undies that are gorgeous and fit. My girl is "very girlie," not the cotton panties and bra type, which is why we love this place. From lacy thongs, garters, corsets, and bras, to the seductive, sheer fabrics and laces. We're also encouragded to use the fitting room together...nice touch, ladies!

• Pros: Very customer focused and accomadating

The only place to go for lingerie

by Eliza P at Citysearch

I've been going to this place for years, and it never disappoints. I go there 1x or 2x a year to get a new set of bras, and this time Montie helped me. She's extremely attentive, knows the inventory really well, and brought out a number of bras that she thought would fit - adjusting the selection based on what we were discovering didn't fit as well. She didn't rush me, she was very patient and I walked out feeling like I had made some good investments. The fact that she didn't rush me was especially important to me, as nice bras are not cheap, so I appreciate that they let you take your time to try things on and make decisions that you won't regret. I do have to say that not everyone is as good there, though I don't want to name names, but just ask for Montie when you go.

• Pros: Great selection, generally good staff
• Cons: Expensive, sometimes crowded

Truly lovely place, I can't wait to go back!

best lingerie store in the city

by girlie22 at Citysearch

This is by far the best lingerie store in the city. It feels like walking into a lingerie store in Paris; very girlie and intimate. The sales people are very good about suggestions without being pushy. The whole experience of buying lingerie becomes much more pleasurable than in other places; good dressing rooms with good lighting, great selection, and sometimes even crazy sales. Fantastic selection of different brands from very expensive: La Perla, Huit, Aubaude, Cotton Club, to affordable: Hanky Panky, and many many others. I definitely recommend it.

• Pros: best selection, best sales people
• Cons: wanting to buy more than you planned on

Hands Down, My Favorite Shop for Lingerie!

by nyc83 at Citysearch

I have been shopping here since I was in college and it's my number one favorite shop for lingerie, both for fun everyday things and for luxurious special items that fit *perfectly*. I lived in France for two years and this place reminds me of the lingerie shops there for its classiness but is also American with its fun and open ambiance. The staff here is super super knowledgeable but not at all snobby-- the vibe of the store is lighthearted so you won't encounter any attitude.

If you're a guy looking for your girlfriend, this is also the perfect place for you-- again, bc of the great selection and helpful staff.

If you're a woman who has never really tried anything fancy or frilly before but looking for something a little different than your everyday Maidenform, you can absolutely trust the staff to help you find something right. They aren't pushy at all and won't try to convince you to get something that you aren't comfortable with.

Enjoy!!

• Pros: Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, gorgeous selection
• Cons: None!!

The Best in NYC - by a mile

by Jillin at Citysearch

Last night I went to La Petite Coquette, and I was so pleased with my experience and my purchases that the next morning I sent the following email to the store's website to let them know how happy I was. I think my email says it all.

…I just wanted to send a note and thank the girl that assisted me last night (Thursday evening May 28) at around 5 pm. I came in looking for a few great every day bras, but that were also attractive so that my boyfriend could enjoy them too. Straight off she checked my size and then brought me tons of bras to try on. She was very patient, very professional and gave me some great tips. When I got out of the dressing room, I had tried on so many bras my head was spinning, but she had all the "yeses" and "maybes" ready to go, which made it so easy. When I got home, I tried on my purchases (four new bras) and I love, love, love each and every one of them - including that fantastic regular bra that turns into a halter bra. Her recommendations were exactly right. I never got her name, but if you know who was working that evening, I just wanted to pass along my thanks and make sure that she got recognition for a job well done!

I have been to your store many times over the years and have always been very happy with my purchases. I used to live on 12th and 6th way back when your store was in the smaller space on the other side of the street. Now I live in Tribeca, and don't get there as often, but whenever I need some new bras, I always come to your store. I am so happy that your store is still around and doing well. You totally deserve it. Your selection is excellent, the store is beautiful and the staff is outstanding. You are the best in the City by far.

See you soon!

(LPC – If you know the name of the sales person that helped me, you can post her name in the comments section on Citysearch so that others will know who she is.)

(By the way, the website is really cute too and they have sales and specials sometimes)

• Pros: Excellent selection, staff and decor
• Cons: nothing
