Ihuoma X Orchid Kauri Waspie

"Bespoke cowrie shell embroidery and silk shades simmering with depth, this waspie is made to be flaunted. A sculpted waistband lets the hips pop while drawing your attention to the cinch. Choose this style for teaming with an outfit for an unforgettable ensemble."

Part of a new collaboration collection with indie lingerie brand Ihuoma, a fellow UK based artisanal lingerie designer, with an intrinsic aim to celebrate the divine feminine, centered on Black beauty but exquisite on every skin tone.

With its elegantly arched waistband and silk boning channels that flow over your curves, the Kauri waspie is your new favourite showpiece. Team it with lingerie or layer over a kimono or flowing dress for an elevated, structured outfit.

This piece is primarily designed for comfort, with a cut that lets you move more freely, and airy mesh panels overlaid in cowrie embroidery. Strong enough to cinch and smooth your silhouette while you forget they're there. A perfect introduction for newcomers to corsetry, and a key piece in your collection if you're one of the initiated!
