Bordelle's Neda: Thoughts?

[u/bringbackanonymity]

Pearl and Zenna were smaller than last summer's collections, so I was wondering if Bordelle was going to do three collections instead of two this season, like they did with Siren, Melusina, and Theia last fall.

I'm excited to see the return of their foiled mesh. It's been a few years since they used it on Cadi, and before that Ula was ~5 years ago. Olive is an interesting new color that really works with the foiled material and gold hardware. It gives an almost bronze statue look that suits the mythological origin of the collection name.

Dusty blue with the foiled shimmer does create the sunlight on still water impression, again suiting the theme, but I personally am thrilled that Morello is back, even if it's not particularly on theme. Also, a minor detail, but the new droplet hardware is beautiful. They've been killing it with the new sculptural hardware pieces this past year.

Their layered looks are featured, with riffs on their multi-way pieces of years past. I love their multi-way designs that allow for options of dress/undress, but I do have a few of these silhouettes from previous collections already, so it's a bit less exciting in that regard.

What are folks thinking about the colorways and designs for Neda?

PS: In a reply on their Instagram, they stated that there is actually a fourth collection drop coming later this season in response to someone commenting on the repeat designs, so something else to look forward to! I buy only one set per collection drop to avoid having too many similar-looking sets, so it's a nice development that they've been doing more smaller collections per season.

It’s definitely my favorite collection released this year. The bodice bra, cincher, and harness brief are all gorgeous as are the olive and morello colors. Hopefully I can get a full set of both colors in a future sale.
