L’ge is a Japanese women’s innerwear brand launched by Wacoal in 1996. Centered on lingerie, it offered coordinated combinations including bras and panties. Its brand concept was “A heroine who is cute and grown-up.” It championed designs and functionality that responded both to the femininity of adult women and to a sensibility that appreciates cute things. Developed as a sub-brand of Wacoal, it ended in the Spring/Summer 2024 season.
Concept

L'ge was a brand that offered “adult cute” designs in Wacoal’s innerwear range. It combined delicate details and a cute aesthetic with a sense of quality, focusing mainly on bras and panties for everyday wear. Unlike Salute, known for bold colors and sexy styling, and PARFAGE, centered on elegant, delicate lace, L'ge’s distinctive role was to bring cute designs to lingerie for adults. The brand ended with the Spring/Summer 2024 season, and Wacoal has carried over some of the design sensibilities and wearing comfort of discontinued brands into certain product lines.
