• AN UNDENIABLE DESIRE FOR A NEW KIND OF INTIMATE SELF EXPRESSION.


  • Our Story

    Sensual Tension was born as an outlet to create contemporary, finely knit bodywear that feels uncomplicated and effortless. We set out to design pieces that we had long sought after, items that seamlessly blend comfort with an alluring hint of sensuality. Using innovative 3D knitting technology, we offer a refined collection that prioritizes premium materials, meticulous construction, and an ideal fit. Elevated wardrobe essentials that offer versatility—wear them alone or layered, styled to match your everyday needs.

Our Choices

Our pieces are made with intention, from the process to materials to packaging we have carefully thought through each aspect. Read more below about the actions we take to have a more positive impact on the planet.

(01) PROCESS

We utilize 3D knitting in our development and production, this technology uses computer programs to knit garments to size from an automated machine. We chose to produce this way because it creates minimal waste in the process compared to a traditional cut and sew garment. It also allows our garments to have minimal seams, making them more comfortable to wear. Plus using this technology means we have full customization capabilities and can create one of a kind swatches and patterns.

We work with a development lab in the Netherlands that is aligned in our desire to use sustainable production methods, certified yarns, and 3D knitting techniques. We also manufacture through their production facility in Turkey that specializes in producing high-end knitwear in small quantities.

(02) MATERIALS

We believe that using the right materials is the foundation to making a great garment. When selecting materials we look at their wearability, longevity, and environmental impact. We lean towards using natural fibres wherever possible but also incorporate new sustainable material innovations. We source our yarns from responsible, certified factories in Italy. All of our bra components are made in France of 100% lead and nickel free metal and are Oeko Tex Certified class II. We craft our pieces from high quality materials that are best suited to each style we are producing. It is important to us that our pieces last and feel great when worn.

(03) PACKAGING

Every step of the process, including how our pieces get to you is important to us. We try our best to avoid the use of any plastic in our packaging, instead the majority of our packaging is paper based and is FSC certified or made from post consumer recycled material. The silk ribbon tied around our lingerie gift boxes is offcuts from the textile industry.
