Scrupules, Belgium

08 November 2024

In a lovely shopping street in the heart of Waterloo, this haven of femininity has become a true institution for lingerie and swimwear shopping: professionalism and passion have guided this beautiful family venture since 1988.

Enthralled by fine fabrics, lace, and silk, it was only natural for Katherine Thumulaire to turn towards the world of lingerie.

In 1988, she decided to trade her nurse’s uniform for a businesswoman’s suit and opened Scrupules, her own boutique dedicated to fine lingerie, with a genuine intention to enhance women’s beauty, no matter their body shape!

Supported by her husband, Katherine has firmly established the boutique’s success over the years, making Scrupules an unmissable address in Waterloo and across Belgium.

Today, her daughter Stéphanie and daughter-in-law Julie have joined the boutique and are committed to continuing the family business with the same passion.

Over the years, renovations have guided the owners towards an optimal space layout. The boutique now proudly displays two windows that give a sneak peek of the collections and invite customers into the world of Scrupules.

Inside, customers are immersed in a spacious area of understated elegance, designed in every detail to highlight the products, their materials, and colors: dark walls and furniture contrast with light parquet floors, enhanced by bright floral displays, providing a backdrop for a refined lingerie and swimwear selection.

Also featured is an array of beautiful European brands and a wide range of styles and sizes, so every woman can leave with the perfect bra. The lingerie and swimwear selection is complemented by men's underwear and a variety of accessories such as bags and hats.

We love the individual counters, providing more privacy, as well as the spacious, welcoming fitting rooms.
