An erotic open cup bra, designed to be unbuttoned to reveal the breast beneath. It is crafted from layers of contrasting silk satin in shades of purple. Inspired by flowers, the cups are cut with layered ‘petals’ which incorporate stitched button holes, which can each be layered over and fastened to one another to reveal and conceal the bust as desired. This bra was also originally available in a soft pink shade, with black trims and a red lining.

Coco De Mer is an erotic London-based boutique founded in 2001 by Samantha Roddick. Alongside products from other luxury brands, Coco De Mer has released its own ranges of erotic lingerie and other erotic products. The brand and boutique was acquired in 2011 by adult online retailer Lovehoney, and later sold to its managing director Lucy Litwack in 2017. Coco De Mer has collaborated on lingerie collections with several world renowned brands and institutions, including Playboy and The Victoria & Albert Museum.
