Tried, True & New ~ Conturelle Provence
I have been following Conturelle’s product emergence in North America ever since I was introduced to this legendary German brand 5 years ago. Entering the US market sometime around their 125th birthday, Conturelle began its ascent here with an introduction of some of their established European styles. One of these, Provence, a gorgeous 3 part Swiss embroidered, guipure trimmed underwire bra has played an enormous role in the company’s success in this highly competitive foundations market. Many of the retailers, whose insight I count on for defining the growth potential of this category, are giving it 5 star reviews. Maybe it’s my own German heritage, but I recognize the careful focus on consumer response in order to produce a well-engineered product with a classic appeal. It is part of the very detailed analysis and attention to garment construction for which this company is internationally revered. This fall, Provence a key item basic in the Conturelle collection has just strengthened its position by expanding its reach from B – I cups, 42 – 46 and adding a delicate sand color. Not new, but updated to support an expanding brand infrastructure and customer response, Provence continues to lead the Conturelle brand forward in America.

This is truly a great, almost universal, bra. I have three of them myself! While it is a great option for fully encompassing a full bust while also providing a lower neckline ( a HUGE feat in bra world, in my opinion) its generous band and smaller cup sizes are great for women who are looking for something pretty in a bigger back/smaller cup combination. Aside from that, their seasonal colors are always rich and so tastefully done, with two-tone stitching (even on their basic black-it is just stunning!)
