CLO intimo has introduced new, larger sizes for many of its most popular styles. According to founder Claudia Ochoa the company is responding to multiple retailer requests and “has added several of our favorite bra silhouettes in our CLO Curvas edits. Curvas is Spanish for curves which is a catchy and appropriate naming that seems to be catching on.”
“In our exclusive Fortuna Adama lace, we have two favorite bras,” she added. “Our demi soft bra in a longer line version and our very popular front closure bralette. In our Malla mesh collection, we now have Curvas in a triangle bra and another very popular shelf underwire. All four have been constructed with additional fabric and heavier straps for added support. The sizing keeps the band sizes the same small, medium large and XL, but with an expanded cup that will accommodate D-EE. They can be paired with matching panties that size up to XL. They are quickly becoming a favorite for stores as many have expressed for some time that their larger customers love the CLO style but were never able to fit into some of our bras.”
“Keeping with our strategy of 100% made in Colombia which includes all fabrics, components, and cut and sew, we are continuing our long-standing relationship with one of the world’s best producers of high-quality lace based in Colombia,” continued Ochoa. “The machines are highly complex; German made and have 3168 needles that need to be individually threaded with set up taking a full three days. As such their quality is second to none which is why we continue our 20-year relationship with our exclusive patterns and designs.”
CLO intimo was founded by Claudia Ochoa @clostudio in 2003 and is based in New York with showrooms in New York and Los Angeles, warehousing and shipping from Miami, “with all our pieces made in the ‘City of Eternal Spring’ Medellin, Colombia by small family-owned producers.” Contact info@clostudio.com and 212-983-1194.
