Bordelle is a unique concept in designer lingerie and bodywear that combines true European craftsmanship with groundbreaking fashion designs and S&M influences. Bordelle’s iconic bespoke satin elastic straps are combined with luxury fabrics and 24K gold plated finishings to create the world's most luxurious contemporary lingerie styles.
Fuelled by founder Alex' personal interest and preference in lingerie with statement design. With no prior background in lingerie and a naivety of its highly complex technical aspects, Alex sees no obvious parameters to what is technically achievable, a blessing in disguise that gives her the freedom to experiment and innovate.
An industry maverick, Bordelle has revolutionised lingerie sizing standards to allow each individual wearer a personalised fit. This valuable and desirable feature, now coined by the industry as ‘easy-sizing’ has been widely adopted by other brands for both aesthetic and practical enhancement. Bordelle also view this as a more responsible and sustainable way to reduce and manage stock quantities across sizes by directing resources and efforts on innovation and variety.
All designs and patterns are created and graded exclusively by Bordelle. Each product is sampled in Bordelles West London studio then carefully refined to ensure the highest quality and best fit. Samples are crafted from a blend of silk satin, soft mesh, Signature satin elastic strapping and 24k gold plated accessories. Each season the design team work with hand picked European suppliers to develop innovative elastics, bespoke Swiss embroidered tulle, and custom 24k gold-plated accessories from France. Bordelle pieces are characterised by the pioneering and distinctive use of strapping elastic in ambitiously constructed pieces that blur the line between lingerie and ready-to-wear.
