Black leather bra

The House's 479 is dressed here in black leather, in a more radical interpretation of the full-cup bra. The cups remain sheer and rely on the curve of the cut for support; the leather, meanwhile, redefines the band with a clean, almost graphic line, for an uncompromisingly sculpted décolleté.

This interpretation combines the rigor of Cadolle corsetry with the brilliance of a material that the House has known how to use since its first couture corsets - a very Parisian way of dressing the bust.

Cadolle's advice: To be worn under an open blazer, an unbuttoned white shirt, or as a statement piece under a tuxedo jacket. This style particularly enhances medium to full busts; those with smaller busts will prefer our embroidered triangles for a lighter effect.
