We welcome you to read below
on how this famous name evolved into the amazing brand it is today.
Thanks to a historic collaboration with craftsmen, such as Calais
lace-makers and Swiss embroiderers, the materials represent the very essence of
the brand and combine all of Aubade’s French elegance and refinement.

Lace /
Leavers Lace: Leavers lace is
an integral part of French heritage, a rare and precious heritage that the
brand continues to showcase in each of its collections. Floral or stylised,
this fine lace fabric envelops the body with a noble touch.
Embroidery: Aubade embroideries are exclusively developed for
the brand by its suppliers. Embroidery on a cotton base, such as for Bahia, or
on a tulle base, as featured on Fleurs de Pommier, in solid colours or three
tones… It invites creativity!
Guipure: Guipure is an embroidery without a backing, sewn
onto “dissolvable” paper. Soaked in soap, the paper dissolves, leaving behind
only the fine embroidery, called guipure. It adorns Aubade lingerie sets to enhance the body:
shoulders, back, breasts etc.
1950 : AUBADE, THE CREATION ….
Created in 1875 by Doctor Bernard, a corset
specialist, the Aubade brand was founded in 1958, when panties and girdles were
essential elements of women’s lingerie collections.
1960 : AUBADE, THE PIONEER ….
The
image of the fussy 1950s woman with her sharply sculpted silhouette is
gradually replaced by a freer and softer look.
Aubade is the
first lingerie brand to make matching coloured bras and underwear. The lingerie
set is born!! and collections reflect fashion trends and the changing seasons.
The brand’s first communication campaigns are
impertinent and provocative, knowing and elegant. The tone is set: 30 years of
Aubade advertising would follow, with the same themes and a dash of humour!
1970 : AUBADE, AUDACIOUS…
Audacity
is probably the best way to describe 1970s fashion!
Aubade is already a savvy and stunning mix of
seduction and technical prowess. The brand is responsible for certain
innovations that marked the history of lingerie: the first strapless bras,
halter bras, the legendary “Agrafe-coeur” (the bra that hooks in front)… As for
the advertisements, they are provocative and avant-garde, focused on the
relationships of couples and woman.
1980 : AUBADE, INSPIRATION FROM
DANCE
The deliciously sexy world
exclusive Tanga!
It is at this
precise moment that Aubade draws inspiration from dance and creates the most
mini creation of them all: the first tanga! Quickly adopted and copied, it
becomes the essential G-string.
Men make their debut in the brand’s advertisements, as
does the black & white format. The tone and codes are set. 20 years of
campaigns will follow on these bases and the theme of a knowing relationship.
1990 : AUBADE, SEDUCTIVE LESSONS…
In the
1990s, fashion reaches a turning point. It’s time to test new things and
undergo new experiences. Make way for
your lesson in Seduction!
For Aubade, this
is the decade when its cult products are launched: the Bahia, the calendar… The
1990s also represent another keystone for Aubade: the launch of the first
Lesson in Seduction. This is a real turning point in the development of the
brand! These artistic and esthetic lessons are an ode to the seductive power of
women, their refinement and their elegance.
2000 : AUBADE, VISIONARY…..
There was no year 2000 bug as people expected, BUT there
were definitely innovations at Aubade: encouraging women to love their bodies
at the beach. The House launches its very
first swimwear line!
The technological innovations continue: the “Petite
Tricheuse” panties reshape curves and lift the buttocks. And the “String
Minimum” weighs a mere 5 grams. The brand dresses women all day long: lingerie,
swimwear, loungewear, stockings and tights are now all on offer at Aubade.
2010 : AUBADE, FASHION, FASHION, FASHION …..
The playful and
sexy boxer line, is launched in 2013. The knowing relationship between men and
women goes even further. Aubade now offers a line of mischievous and sexy
lingerie specially created for romantic games: the ‘Boîtes à Désir’!
In 2013, Aubade creates a new weapon of seduction and
launches its first fragrance, an ode to women, a sensual and elegant perfume.
We wait with baited breath to see what the world
famous Aubade adds next to their story.
To be
continued.......
