'Necessity is the mother of invention'

After being blessed with my two children, I ended up with hernias that required major abdominal surgery and a year-long recovery. During that period, I decided to turn 'lemons into lemonade' and go for a full wardrobe makeover to cheer myself up! Having always worn wired bras, I was now in need of something more comfortable, but still wanted something a bit luxe too.

At first, it seemed like there weren’t many options in the world of wireless bras, and the colour choices were mostly beige, black and white. They didn’t really support me and made me feel a bit frumpy.

I started thinking about a bra idea that offers support without wires, is comfortable all day long, practical and challenges traditional lingerie rules. Allowing for self expression, whether you want to wear it for casual or smart occasions, perhaps a hint of unexpected colour might peek through. To be made ethically for sustainability and of good quality for durability. Flattering bottoms too, that aren’t tiny strings digging in or ‘Bridget Jones’ pants (necessary, but not always)!

These ideas turned into designs, and with the help of a London-based atelier, into prototypes and then samples. I visited UK warehouses to find hidden gems of deadstock and connected with industry experts. Also a lot of research was undertaken, including with some very lovely friends who tried on samples and gave honest feedback on fit and feel. Finally, the samples were approved, technical drawings complete and production could start. 

Named after my daughter (Harper Mae), MAE ME LONDON offers women comfortable and colourful lingerie to always feel your very best in.

Hoping you love them as much as we do!
