Pure Silk Jersey Demi Bralette | Black
The bralette its designer wears every day, because nothing else comes close.
The Demi Bralette is a non-wired, pure silk jersey bralette handmade in Britain — designed for all-day comfort without sacrificing luxury. Because the two should never have been mutually exclusive in the first place.
From the front it reads as effortless. A clean, rounded cup in double-layered pure silk jersey, silk satin straps, and 24k gold hardware — the kind of piece that looks like it took no thought at all, which means it took everything. Turn around and the story changes. The architectural back strap detail is deliberate, considered, and entirely signature: because backs deserve as much attention as fronts, and a hook should never just be a hook.
This is silk the way silk was meant to be worn. Not saved for occasions. Not reserved for the drawer. Worn on a Tuesday, under a white shirt, against your skin.
The woman who reaches for the Demi every morning isn't chasing a moment. She's decided — quietly, firmly — that what touches her skin matters. And she's right.

Why Silk Jersey?
Many bras, even ones sold as cotton or silk, are lined with polyester or nylon on the inside, where they touch your skin. Ours aren't. The cup is pure silk jersey on both sides, so the part against you is silk, and it sheds no plastic fibres in the wash. Because it's knitted, the jersey stretches naturally without any elastane or Lycra: the fabric is 100% silk, a protein fibre that biodegrades.
The straps and elastic contain polyamide and elastane, because they need to stretch and recover, and natural alternatives are still rare and costly. We'd rather tell you than pretend. When better options exist, we'll use them.

Non-wired, soft cup. Every strap adjusts and the cups have natural give, so each bra moves with your shape rather than forcing it into a size.
| Size | Underbust (cm) | UK | USA | EU | Cup |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 69–73 | 4–8 | 0–4 | 32–36 | A–C |
| M | 73–77 | 10–12 | 6–8 | 38–40 | B–D |
| L | 77–81 | 14 | 10 | 42 | C–DD |
Use the chart as a guide. Because everything adjusts, each size stretches beyond the numbers above, so neighbouring sizes overlap.
Go by your underbust, not your cup. A cup size isn't a fixed volume: a D on a slim underbust is smaller than a D on a wider one. So a fuller cup on a slim frame usually fits the smaller size, and the soft cup takes care of the rest.
How to measure: underbust directly under your bust, with the tape level and snug.
