Many of us know this moment: at the end of the day, you come home, take off your bra first, and let out a long breath.
That breath is the sound of what your body has been holding in all day.
When we make bras, we keep asking whether that breath could come sooner, even before you get home.
Removing the underwire, and the back clasp too
This season, all our Bras are made without underwires or back clasps.
Without a back clasp, they pull on over your head. Without an underwire, there is one less hard line beneath your bust. Support comes from the fabric's own spring and the cups stitched into the lining.
Olea Rib Triangle Bra: Fine ribbing has a little substance and spring, gently wrapping the body. A continuous ribbed band finishes the hem, with the seam tucked at the side. It sits against the ribs without rolling or leaving pressure marks.
One less hard point, one less reminder
The adjuster on a strap is another hard point.
That is why the fine straps on these two Bras are fixed and non-adjustable. One less fitting pressing into your shoulder means one less moment of being reminded that you are wearing a bra.
Neve Soft Sleek Bra: A smooth knit with a fine surface, light and sleek against the skin. The wide elastic underband rests along the ribs without digging in or rolling.
The back is clean and simple too. Without a clasp, there is no raised fastening.
You can wear just one piece
If you would rather skip a separate bra altogether, choose a Bra Top.
Olea Rib Detachable Strap Bra Top and Neve Soft Sleek Double Strap Bra Top both have cups stitched into the lining, with no underwires or back clasps. Put one on, and you are ready to go.
What the body remembers
The body remembers what presses against it: marks on the shoulders, a red line under the bust, the feeling of not quite breathing deeply all day.
It also remembers what does not press against it, though that memory feels more like forgetting. You forget what you are wearing, and the day simply unfolds.
That is the feeling we want to create. Between skin and the world.
