This Week’s Intimate Discovery: A Tried and True Product Roars Into The 21st Century
From the time I was a little girl, I have clear memories of my mother getting dressed in her girdle and stockings. It was, after all, the proper thing for a woman to wear and she tried vehemently to get me to comply, but alas, to no avail. I was not into control. I liked vintage, loose, and laissez faire. So what a surprise when I first studied the Rago® Shapewear brand, to learn that this was in fact, the authentic 50’s designed and constructed shaping pieces in their original incarnation. I was attracted to them for their retro fashion appeal, and not at all surprised when I learned that they were the soul source of underpinnings for the hit show, Mad Men. What a treasure to discover that this brand had survived the disappearance of the once robust girdle industry by establishing itself as the niche brand sustaining its design heritage but capable of addressing all modern shaping needs. Never compromising its proprietary engineering techniques and exclusive Lycra fabrics, Rago® has expanded its reach from it’s renowned extra firm products to light control. Made 100% in America, this 65 year old business remains family run and consumer savvy. I know my mother would approve.
