Just picked up a fabulous new bathing suit from an awesome boutique, Kapreeza, in Little Italy. This is a great place to find quality, beautiful suits (and lingerie). To all my girlfriends in SD – I highly recommend you visit this shop, Renata is great at finding the best suit for you. Now, I just need the rain to go away so I can rock this at the beach soon.

I have to send out a big thanks to Renata for saving me from what would have otherwise been an utterly painful day of shopping for my girlfriend’s birthday. With zero hints as to what she wanted, I set out and wandered aimlessly from store to store. Then, about three hours into the birthday shopping with zero gifts bought, I stumbled upon Kapreeza Lingerie & Swimwear in Little Italy. The store window showcased some VERY nice items and I was drawn inside. Renata single-handedly guided me around the store and helped me select the perfect black lace cami and panty set. Renata’s merchandise is largely from Europe so everything is unique and really well made. My girlfriend loved her gift and we’ve been back to Kapreeza since then.

Renata’s secret is much juicier and far more sexy than Victoria’s. Specializing in European lingerie and swimwear, Kapreeza (2400 Kettner Blvd, Ste. 253) is one of the most outstanding boutiques I’ve ever stepped inside. Lining the walls of this Little Italy treasure are some of the most stunning intimate apparel, bathing suits and cover-ups I have ever laid eyes upon. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t back in Paris. And, just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, Renata opened a drawer. I was eight years old again…standing in front of my grandmother’s candy drawer…drooling. But Renata’s candy was so much more delicious…a rainbow of colors, silk, lace…like nothing I have ever seen on U.S. soil. Just go…now.

This store has THE BEST lingerie in San Diego and has a warm, inviting atmosphere. Renata knows all there is to know about lingerie and swimwear and is extremely helpful. I can’t wait to go back for Valentine’s Day for more goodies!

Dear “Kapreeza”,
I was enchanted meeting you in San Diego. I should be back in San Diego and look forward to more of your designs. I wear them proudly and for the first time I feel like a woman, unique and innocent with your designs. Don’t stop what you are doing - you are an artist for woman’s design.
Happy Holidays,
-Daniella L., AZ. December 2010
Hi Renata, Thank you so much for such a wonderful & non-intimidating shopping experience. You are such a pleasurable person and I told you I could tell from the moment I entered your beautiful store. I really appreciate the time you took with me during my original visit. You showed me so many options. You were so gracious with your time. I must have appeared to be like a child in a candy store. I know that I felt that way. Your accurate prediction about the size that I purchased possibly being a snug fit was a good prediction. I will certainly trust your instincts regarding size on my future purchases. I certainly look forward to my next purchase!! Until then, I hope your Holidays are filled with warmth and kindness.

My girlfriend loves their stuff and spends a lot of her (and mine..) money there, but it’s well worth it. She loves the place and I think their stuff is pretty hot on her, too. Five stars.
-Dimitry X. San Diego, CA. October 2010
Sexiest lingerie & swimwear in San Diego!! It is always great to be at Kapreeza, and fun to be a woman here. Now I know where I can find only one of kind unique swimwear. I especially love the beach dresses at the shop. They are not only sexy and comfortable to wear at the beach, but perfect for a party dress. I was very impressed about the quality and the fabrics. I will go back to the shop and am excited to see what’s new!!
-Mee Shim, San Diego, CA August 2010
I had the most delightful shopping experience at Kapreeza. today. I’m a male that enjoys wearing feminine lingerie. I emailed Renata, the owner, to first ask if I would be welcome shopping at her store. She replied promptly and welcomed me to shop and suggested that I make an appointment, which I did.
Renata provided a private, accepting and comfortable shopping experience. She helped me with sizes and we picked out two bra and pantie sets. Renata was very helpful with her feedback on what was working and not working in terms of sizes and styles. I quickly learned to trust her opinion and comments.
So, regardless of your gender, if you enjoy fine lingerie, treat yourself to the moderately priced selections at Kapreeza (unique and high quality) and treat yourself to the delightful customer service that Renata provides.
-Annika D., San Diego CA. May 2010
Kapreeza is a classy shop for ladies and the owner Renata is very personable and friendly. She has unique designer apparel and is reasonably priced. You should stop by there and say hello.
-JC. San Diego CA October 2009
I am definitely a fan of self-love and giving to myself without reservation. I’ll just say it: I can really enjoy glam!
Friday afternoon, I visited one of the lingerie boutiques downtown after hearing about a networking reception that had taken place there not too long ago. It is called Kapreeza and it’s located in Little Italy. They sell mid to high-end lingerie, swimwear and really lovely bridal lingerie. I have never seen a selection of the exquisite pieces of swimwear and lingerie that Kapreeza offers. The owner, Renata, explained how she spends quality time with each customer and feels that American women deserve fashionable and unique lingerie that is not only beautiful and sexy but comfortable. I agree with that! She said many women feel like they have to forego highly attractive pieces for function. Not so. Kapreeza offers magnificent imported lingerie for women of all sizes and ages and will spend the time with you to achieve the perfect fit.
Renata and I also agreed that it is not necessary to be in a relationship to look and feel good for oneself. Eating well and nourishing the body temple, taking excellent care of oneself, thinking positively about oneself, dressing to impress oneself, and, if one desires, attracting those who can honor her inner and outer radiance can be key to a joy-filled life that will open doors to the types of mutually satisfying relationships that a goddess deserves. Go ahead … treat yourself … just because YOU want to.

Buying a bikini has never been so easy and painless! Renata was immediately able to assess my likes, dislikes, and body type to find the perfect match.
-Katie Skow, CA. August 2009
What a fabulous place to be and shop! The owner, Renata, is extremely nice and helpful. She is so willing to take the time to help you find that perfect summer bikini and/or beautiful lingerie. Their styles are unique (for SD), and it’s so refreshing to shop in a nice environment, with well-made and fashionable selection. If you’re ever in Little Italy, I would highly recommend stopping by, and if you can, pick up that something special!
-Maureen C., San Diego, CA July 2009
I just visited this incredible lingerie store. The quality of the clothing is nothing like other stores. You won’t find anyone at the beach or a pool party that will be wearing the same swim suit as you. They are all imported from Europe, not China, and are designed by designers in France, Greece and other countries so they don’t have dozens of the exactly the same design. They will last for years and have much more support – making you look fantastic. Renata, the owner, is a bra fitting specialist, so you won’t walk out with a bra that doesn’t fit. Go see for yourself.
-Bobbi Steinberg, IntimatePhotography.com San Diego, CA. July 2009
Just wanted to mention the wonderful experience I had at Kapreeza. I have difficulty finding beautiful, unique, comfortable, functional lingerie and Kapreeza satisfied all of these qualifications! Renata, the owner, was attentive, charming and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this boutique to anyone looking for exceptional quality and unique selection of gorgeous goodies to indulge yourself with.
-Lynn, La Jolla, CA. July 2009
I was introduced to the beautiful collection of European lingerie & swimwear at Kapreeza through a networking event. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of Kapreeza, Renata Carlseen. She was very knowledgeable about each piece she displayed. I soon after attended an event at Kapreeza and made a purchase and I am glad I did! The lingerie is extremely comfortable and I plan to purchase more. Renata Carlseen being not only the owner of Kapreeza but the boutiques buyer, has an eye for detail, is concerned about comfort and simply has exquisite taste. Kapreeza specialty shop is the place for European lingerie & swimwear.

-Edward Dunn, Reporter, Business Reviews USA, June 2009
I recently purchased a bathing suit at Kapreeza and was quite pleased with the shopping experience. The Kapreeza boutique is tucked away in an artistic corner of Little Italy, but the shop is easy to find, and there is plenty of free parking. The owner, Renata, is very helpful and knowledgeable, and really took time to assist me in selecting the perfect bikini. The merchandise at Kapreeza is high quality and their bathing suits are lovely. Renata offers items in a range of styles and sizes. I was impressed with Kapreeza and charmed by Renata, and will definitely be back.
-Wanda, San Diego, CA. May 2009
Many lingerie stores carry the same stuff year after year. I shop at Kapreeza for those special occasions knowing that my girl is getting something new, stylish and special.
