Marieyat
Androgynous ribbed cotton styles from this London-based designer. These thoughtful designs are understated enough for everyday and luxe enough to feel very special.
Marieyat was founded by Hong Kong born designer, Maria Yat Wei Yeung. Marieyat is inspired by the women in her life: Complex ladies who are both their mind and body. Marieyat is all about the balance of two opposites: the Yin and the Yang.
Utilitarian, but with unexpected details, her classic collection resembles mens briefs, but the drop binding provides the feminine energy of lingerie. Seamless construction of Marieyat makes the garments comfortable for underwear, but these unordinary pieces are not always meant to be hidden. Versatility ever present, many of these garments can be worn as innerwear and outerwear.
