A fancy bra that has received surprisingly little love: 'Hecate Perlée'. Delicate French Chantilly lace, exquisitely embellished with hand stitched glass beads, sequins, and French knot embroidery. Finished wish hand stitched silk binding and hand dyed elastic trims.
There's enough lace for just 10 bras in total...

Last warning- I'm taking the Hesperides collection offline in the morning!
Last call for the Hesperides collection! Designs from the Ara copper, Tara and Hespera ranges will be getting permanently retired from next week. It's your final chance to place your order! 🖤

A ridiculously fancy bra from my latest collection: the 'Kore' bra. This French Leavers lace base is embellished with foliage of glass beads and sequins, finished with 3D snowdrop blossoms. I adore the textures of this piece.
You can find this bra on my website, along with the rest of the Kore collection. It's made to order and customised to your skin tone for no additional charge.

I went bra shopping today for the first time in years. It was terrible, I am filled with angst, and will be making my own bras the second I have some free time again.
Another ridiculously fancy bra: "Luna'.
This was a bespoke commission from 2021. Based around an incredibly richly embellished French lace, with heavy hand beading, crystals and tassels. The internal structure includes a nude illusion tulle lining, and silk satin suppor panels.
Having a minor crisis over the fact that my bra size has changed so much that I don't have a single bra left that fits. I have spent my entire career collecting incredible pieces from amazing designers, and now they are all unwearable 😭
Just been alerted to someone having run one of my designs through an AI to change the colour and then claim it as their own... Ew.

I know this is so at odds with how this industry works, but I cannot stand how often I am contacted by absolute strangers asking for a phenomenal amount of free product as if they're doing me a favour.
And before anyone uses the 'exposure' argument... I know all too well from experience that 99% of the time, garments won't be used or won't be visible. If they are used, it pretty much never translates to real brand visibility or sales.
