In honor of Earth Day 2018, here’s a collection of the most beautiful natural sights and textures we captured over the past 12 months. Enjoy.

Fit Guide: Undies, Bras, + Lingerie

The exhaustive and nearly-complete guide to Brook There underwear, bras, and lingerie fit. Buying for someone else? This might help- but please do try to get your giftee’s measurements.

The Pixy Bra: Process Shots

We just launched a new production run of the Pixy Bra– a style that we have been out of stock on for quite some time (sorry all!) and are very happy to have back in! The Pixy Bra was the second primary bra style we released following our original triangle bra. The Pixy is designed…

Design Process: Colorways

Traditionally, the fashion and apparel industry ran on a calendar of Spring and Fall collections. These were shown on runways in major fashion centers, available to wholesale customers.

My first thought, it being upcoming on Valentine’s Day, was to write love letters. But…

Simple Winter Underlayers

The deeper shades complement winter clothing choices- layers of cottons, silks or wools, in my case. Nothing like a cocoa brown bralette under a steely silk camisole paired with a woven shirt…

Color Inspirations

Season after season, I find myself looking towards photos and memories of natural settings to choose colors for the new collection. For fall and winter of 2017, I was intensely interested in a bright yellow-green shade that reflected fall leaves. It was an odd color for a lingerie set, but It fit well with the…
