Business Overview

Finding a dependable supplier of lingerie and hosiery matters for any shop or boutique that wants happy, returning customers. D.B. Imports has spent years building exactly that reputation across Malta and Gozo. The company imports and distributes underwear, nightwear and hosiery for women, men and children. It works directly with trusted suppliers in Italy and England to bring fresh stock to local shelves every week. Retailers across the islands turn to D.B. Imports for consistent quality, fair pricing and a product range that covers almost every type of intimate apparel a customer could ask for. The same range is also available to shop directly online. Individual customers benefit from the same sourcing and the same quality standards as the trade.

The business began life selling general piece goods before taking a clear direction in 1998. That year, Anthony Borg started importing underwear and hosiery for men and women, laying the foundation Read Morefor the company shoppers know today. His son David now runs the operation, continuing a family approach built on close supplier relationships and careful product selection. That partnership network today includes established names such as Bellissima, Gieffeti and Sensi, brands recognised within the trade. Decades of working with the same manufacturers in Italy and England give D.B. Imports a depth of product knowledge that newer suppliers have not had time to build. This long standing experience helps the company spot quality early, before a new style ever reaches a shop shelf.

Bras make up a major part of the collection. The range runs wide enough to fit almost any customer who walks into a partner shop. Balconette bras, bandeau bras, plunge bras and padded bras sit alongside strapless bras and backless strapless bras for occasions when straps simply will not work. Underwired bras and full support bras give structure where it counts. Multiway bras and front opening bras solve everyday practical problems for busy women. Sports bras keep active customers covered through exercise and everyday movement alike. Maternity bras and nursing bras, complete with removable bra pads, support new and expectant mothers through every stage of pregnancy and beyond. A support bra for every body and every outfit is the simple goal behind this part of the range.

Below the bras sits an equally broad selection of briefs and shorts. Classic briefs, French knickers, Brazilian pants and hot pants give women plenty of choice for comfort or style. Seamless underwear and cotton underwear cover the everyday basics that shoppers reach for first, while microfibre underwear adds a lightweight, smooth option for warmer days. Men are just as well catered for, with boxer shorts and Y fronts cut for comfort and built to last through regular wear. Every piece comes from the same Italian and English suppliers that the company has trusted for years, so quality never drops between styles or sizes.

Nightwear and intimate pieces complete the women's side of the range. Soft nightdresses and pyjamas sit beside babydolls, chemises, camisoles and slips for customers who want something a little more delicate. A well cut basque or body suit gives shape and confidence for special evenings. The same pieces work nicely as wedding accessories for brides preparing for their honeymoon or their wedding night. Body shape and body shaping garments round out this part of the collection, helping customers feel flattered and supported underneath any outfit. From everyday wear through to the most special occasions on the calendar, there is a piece in the range built for the moment.

Hosiery is another core strength of the business. Tights, stockings and everyday socks sit alongside sports socks for more active days, with maternity tights and maternity underwear designed to stay comfortable through pregnancy. As Malta's weather turns cooler, thermal underwear and gloves help shoppers stay warm without sacrificing comfort underneath their usual clothing. Panty and thong styles round out the smaller essentials that every shop needs to keep in stock. New deliveries arrive every week, so partner shops rarely run short on the sizes and styles their own customers ask for most, season after season.

Choosing the right piece matters as much as having a wide range to choose from. A bra that fits well should sit flat against the body, with no gaping in the cup. The band should feel snug without digging in. Customers shopping for everyday basics tend to prioritise cotton underwear and seamless underwear for comfort. Those buying for a special occasion often look first at lace, structure and a flattering body shape. Fabric quality matters just as much as style. A well made garment in microfibre or cotton will hold its shape and stay comfortable wash after wash. Stocking a range that covers all of these needs takes consistent sizing and quality. It is what allows a shop to serve every customer who walks through the door.

D.B. Imports works first and foremost as a wholesale distributor, supplying shops and boutiques throughout Malta with regular deliveries and reaching Gozo by courier. This wholesale focus means retail partners deal with one trusted source for underwear, hosiery and nightwear. There is no need to juggle several smaller suppliers for different parts of their stock. The company also runs its own online shop, with free delivery on orders over fifty euros. Individual customers can buy directly whenever it suits them. An order might come from a boutique restocking its shelves, or from a shopper browsing at home. Either way, the same quality standards and the same Italian and English sourcing apply throughout.

Anyone running a shop or boutique in Malta or Gozo is welcome to get in touch with D.B. Imports directly. The company can supply a steady range of lingerie and hosiery for any retail partner, new or established. The team can talk through current brands, stock availability and delivery schedules. Individual shoppers looking for quality underwear, nightwear or hosiery can browse the full range online and place an order whenever it suits them. The same weekly fresh stock that has kept Maltese shops supplied for years is available to everyone.
