"My inspiration comes from everywhere - color combinations, childhood memories, travels, unique moments in time and place, and the friendships that shape my world."
In the first stage of the design process, I define the mood of my new collection. I gather all the inspiration I’ve saved and stored, from colour combinations, childhood memories, travels, unique moments, and friendships, and organise them into mood boards.
With the mood set, I bring my vision to life through detailed sketches. Each design starts with a freehand drawing, capturing different angles and exploring shapes, cuts, and delicate details that reflect the collection’s identity.
I carefully choose fabrics from minimal impact suppliers and if possible trims from deadstock fabrics that tell the story. Each material is selected to evoke the right emotion and ensure comfort for my Mahé girls. Every detail, from the softest elastic to the smallest bow or charm, and every colour combination play their part in bringing the design to life.
I translate my sketches into precise templates for each piece, ensuring they align perfectly with the chosen materials. I incorporate my signature adjustable back design, allowing the bras to fit all circumferences, so girls only need to focus on selecting their cup size. This step brings the vision closer to reality, focusing on fit, structure, and flow.
The first sample is born here. I bring the design to life, testing the fit, comfort, and feel on real bodies. Adjustments are made to ensure every piece looks and feels exactly as intended.
The final stage is where it all comes together. I test for comfort, durability, and that perfect feel. Once it’s flawless, it’s ready to be sewed and shared with the world, making sure every piece is as beautiful, high quality, and comfy as it was meant to be.
