Pretties
Linda Meltzer rebranded her iconic ’90s line Tease Tee’s in 2016—home of the original and culturally seminal baby tee—to Pretties lingerie. The brand brings the rebellious-cute ethos of Meltzer’s original project to an expanding collection of vintage-style intimates. Locally made in the heart of Los Angeles’s Arts District using high-quality pima cotton, the label’s delicate and detail-oriented designs straddle the line between elegance and innocence. Pointelle bloomers, granny-style lace briefs, and thongs with frilly trims live alongside pieces that double as daywear—such as V-neck cropped tanks and minidresses adorned with tiny bows on dainty straps. With its contemporary updates of nostalgic designs, Pretties is a sartorial embodiment of evocative charm.
