Aubade x Iris van Herpen Sensory Illusion Half-Cup Bra in Golden Leaves | 32F

A truly special piece from Aubade’s limited-edition collaboration with visionary Dutch designer Iris van Herpen.

The Sensory Illusion half-cup bra combines delicate sheer tulle with sweeping metallic embroidery inspired by leaves, movement and the organic forms found throughout Iris van Herpen’s couture work. Warm gold, bronze and taupe tones are outlined in black, creating a dramatic three-dimensional effect across the cups.

The underwired half-cup shape lifts the bust and creates a beautifully rounded silhouette, while the vertical seams and adjustable straps provide considered support.

A rare collector’s piece from a memorable collaboration between French lingerie craftsmanship and contemporary couture design.

Why we love it

This is lingerie as wearable art. The embroidery appears to move across the body, while the rich metallic colouring feels sophisticated rather than overly decorative. It is an exceptional piece for anyone who appreciates couture-inspired lingerie and limited-edition design.

Perfect for

• Collectors of luxury lingerie
• Creating a beautifully lifted, rounded shape
• Lower and square necklines
• Special occasions
• Anyone searching for something genuinely unusual
• Wearing beneath a partially unbuttoned silk blouse or sharply tailored jacket

The Amélie Tip

A half-cup bra is designed to lift from underneath and leave more of the upper bust visible. The centre front should sit firmly against the chest and the breast tissue should be fully contained without spilling over the embroidered cup edge. Pair it with a square or softly scooped neckline to make the most of its beautifully rounded shape.
