Product Insights
The Laurel Embroidered Sheer Plunge Bra by Coco de Mer combines a pistachio-green botanical leaf embroidery on nude tulle with silk accents and Portuguese hand-finishing for a luxurious, nature-inspired aesthetic. Priced at CAD 325, it offers moderate underwire support and breathable sheerness, ideal as a layering piece under sheer or backless tops. The tradeoff: the unlined sheer cups demand precise sizing to prevent visible gaps, and sizing goes only up to 36D.

Deep Research
Coco de Mer's sensual design DNA and this bra
- Owner/CEO Lucy Litwack (who completed an MBO in 2017) describes lingerie as ‘our secret power — something for ourselves, above and beyond anything or anyone else,’ a concept that the Laurel bra’s unpadded underwire cups and natural shape embody by prioritizing the wearer’s own comfort and self-perception over the male gaze.
- Coco de Mer launched in London in 2001 with the explicit mission of celebrating female pleasure and sexual self-expression — a philosophy that elevates the Laurel bra from a mere undergarment to a piece of a brand lineage dedicated to making the wearer feel confident and in control of her own sensuality.
- Coco de Mer’s practice of using only all-female teams for its shoots — an effort to achieve the ‘ultimate female gaze’ — is reflected in the Laurel bra’s design that highlights the body’s natural shape through sheer tulle and a soft plunge rather than forcing a silhouette through heavy padding or uplift, allowing the wearer to define the narrative of her own sensuality.
- Litwack insists that ‘the quality of the materials, the meticulous design, you can just feel the difference it makes,’ and the Laurel bra’s combination of silk accents and delicate embroidered tulle is a tactile point of pride — the brand’s philosophy that pleasure ‘fires all the senses’ means the brush of sheer fabric against skin is as intentional as the visual allure.
Support and fit of an unlined plunge silhouette
- The two‑hook back closure (as opposed to a three‑hook) matches the size range up to 36D and signals the bra's moderate support profile; it keeps the back strap narrow enough to remain invisible under low‑back garments while still providing sufficient anchorage for the underwire to lift and shape naturally without digging into the ribs.
- Produced in Portugal, where specialist ateliers often sew high‑end lingerie for brands like Coco de Mer; the skilled hand finishing likely ensures that the embroidered tulle panels and underwire casings are handled with care, so the delicate leaf embroidery sits flat and the plunge wire sits symmetrically — an important detail for a garment that depends on precise geometry for both comfort and aesthetics in the unlined style.
How it stacks up against other luxury sheer plunge bras
- Priced within the same band as Coco de Mer’s own Seraphine Plunge Bra (£175 / ~CAD 300), which derives its allure from historic French Leavers lace, the Laurel offers a completely different aesthetic — garden-inspired leaf embroidery on sheer tulle — indicating the brand values this embroidery as highly as the classic lace, providing buyers a botanical statement piece rather than a conventional lace bra.
- The Laurel bra incorporates silk (as accents or blended into the embroidered tulle), whereas the similarly styled Simone Pérèle SINGULIERE sheer plunge bra (CAD 150) is made entirely from synthetic recycled polyamide and polyester — even a touch of silk adds a tactile luxury that full-synthetic constructions cannot fully match, helping justify the CAD 325 price for buyers who seek the natural sheen and breathability of silk in their lingerie.
- Where Coco de Mer’s Seraphine comes only in black and the Simone Pérèle SINGULIERE in petal pink or black, the Laurel’s refreshing mint-green (pistachio) hue delivers a seasonal, nature-inspired color that is uncommon in the luxury sheer plunge market, making it a distinctive choice for buyers who want to step away from the ubiquitous black-and-nude palette.
How silk and embroidered tulle feel and wear over time
- By omitting foam padding, the sheer embroidered tulle cups minimize heat retention and bulk, delivering a lighter, less restrictive wear that aligns with the unlined bra trend favoring natural silhouettes and airflow — ideal for long evenings or warm settings.
- The moderate support rating is achieved through underwire architecture rather than padding, meaning the bra lifts and shapes with an airy, stable feel — a design that dispels the myth that lack of padding equals lack of support.
- Because the cups are unlined and sheer, any fit imperfection — gapping, wrinkling — is immediately visible, making accurate sizing crucial; a cup shape that’s too tall or open for your breast profile will show, so the bra rewards those who know their exact size in Coco de Mer’s cut.
Design inspiration behind the Laurel embroidery
- Founded in 2001 with the explicit mission to design lingerie that builds confidence and celebrates femininity, Coco de Mer infuses the Laurel bra with a sense of empowerment: the sheer, unpadded plunge is meant to exalt the wearer’s body, making it a piece that prioritizes mood and self-expression over traditional support.
- Produced in Portugal, where luxury textile and embroidery houses have a long heritage, the bra’s construction draws on a regional skill set particularly suited to the intricate leaf work and silk handling required by the Laurel design, reinforcing the collection’s high-end credentials.
- Named after the laurel plant and embroidered with 'pistachio-hued leafy motifs,' the Laurel bra’s design is an overt reference to botanical beauty that frames the wearer as part of a curated natural tableau — an approach that turns sheer lingerie into a wearable piece of brand storytelling.
- The mint/pistachio green shade isn't a random seasonal pick — it’s the unifying thread that extends the 'pistachio-hued' leaf embroidery across the tulle and silk accents, creating a cohesive, garden-inspired palette that makes the matching set feel like a deliberate fashion statement.
