l'amateur – la fille d'O

m: "if beauty is a subjective matter, i can't help but expect this to result in diversification. but the reverse is true. never have i experienced such poverty as in what is considered beautiful nowadays. i have been an avid observer of things in general since... forever. and yes, i have seen beautiful things. over the years i have become obsessed with the human body, how it bends and bruises. i have seen people naked, a lot of them, both professionally and personally. i am driven by this longing to see even more. for every body holds new mystery, a different frequency of energy. this is exactly what enchants me. this endless variation on the same theme like a never-ending variety of your favorite song."

lingerie is the work-horse of your wardrobe. subject to intense rubbing and stretching whilst supporting you, the pieces are exposed to sweat, sunlight, sea salt, skincare products, chlorine from swimming pools and eager hands of loved ones. our items were built to last but they need your help. WASH THEM OFTEN , preferably after every wear, especially when used for swimming and/or sunbathing.

use a mild organic detergent – we suggest ecover, seepje,…
machine wash at 30°, hand wash is not recommended unless you are an expert
protect your lingerie in a laundry bag – guppyfriend will help protect and catch microfibers of all your synthetic garments
do not tumble dry, it damages your lingerie, the environment and will probably even take longer than air drying

alterations for most bras are possible when it comes to circumference and shoulder straps. so if your body goes through some small changes you can adapt your lingerie accordingly.

repairs are possible should any of the hardware need changing, straps adjusted or holes be mended. get in touch before you throw anything away to avoid unnecessary waste.
