The Vertex Bustier Harness
Moulded leather, closed at the heart with gold.
Two balconette cups are wet-moulded from genuine leather, so they hold their shape on their own, and set into a wide, sculpted under-bust band. Between them a narrow V is cut into the band and closed at the top with a gold V clasp. The lower edge dips into a matching point, capped with a gold V tip.
A slim collar with a gold V bar carries one fine chain down to the clasp. The chain hooks on with a small spring clasp, so the collar and chain come off to be worn alone as a necklace, and the bustier can be worn without them.
The shoulder straps are riveted to the cups and adjust with gold buckles at the front, and the band closes at the back with two buckled straps. Every piece of hardware is a brushed, pale champagne gold. Part of the VERTEX series.
Made to order in sizes XS to 5XL, in four leather colours.

How to measure
Neck — around the base of the neck, where the collar sits.
Bust — around the fullest part of the bust, wearing an unpadded bra or none.
Under-bust — snug around the ribcage, directly under the bust.
Between sizes, or for a smaller or fuller cup, email your bust and under-bust measurements before ordering. Custom sizing is available on request.
CARE
Wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Condition occasionally with a leather balm to keep the leather supple.
Keep the hardware and chain dry and away from perfume, lotions and household chemicals.
Store the bustier on a padded form or with tissue inside the cups, out of direct sunlight. Never press, fold or stack anything on the moulded cups.
Wear and safety
For consenting adults aged 18+ only. Fasten the band snugly but never tight enough to restrict breathing, keep the buckles within easy reach, and take it off if numbness or tingling occurs.
