Intimacy at Phipps Plaza has been rebranded Rigby & Peller. Intimacy, which was started by Susan Nethero at Phipps Plaza in 1992, is today majority owned by Belgium-based Van de Velde N.V. Within the past couple of weeks, the company has rebranded the Intimacy chain as Rigby & Peller. The Rigby & Peller brand has a rich history in the U.K. and has been around for over 75 years. Both Intimacy and Rigby & Peller are owned by Van de Velde N.V. Rigby & Peller still provides a luxury lingerie experience but has tweaked the product mix and price points of the store's merchandise. Additionally, the store carries Saxx, a Canadian line of men's underwear.

If you were an Intimacy customer, you should have received a letter in the mail a few weeks ago about the rebranding. And Rigby & Peller included a $25-coupon to entice you to the store.
