Our Story
Uye Surana (pronounced Yoo Sur-ah-nah) is a lingerie brand based out of a studio in NYC, where dreamy things are delicately designed with artistic & modern appeal. Our pieces are handmade in small batches and often limited edition, so our styles are as unique as the wearer and not overproduced.
We’re known for our beautiful designs that have been extensively fit tested to optimize comfort and offer support across our inclusive size range. No other brand performs fittings across all sizes to ensure the best fit and serves such a wide size range including petite, curvy, and plus size. Our bralettes are engineered with patented technology that offers precisely tailored band & cup sizing as well as Easy Fit sizing, which features proprietary, ultra-adjustable details to maximize fit and customize desired support.
Our unique approach to design, high quality pieces, and fit have allowed Uye Surana to become worn and loved by people all over the world. This success has lead to critical acclaim from press including Refinery29, Nylon, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, Bazaar, Allure, and more.
Our Founder & Designer, Monica Wesley, began Uye Surana as a means to express her artistic nature. Growing up in a creative home, she took to fashion and began sewing and tailoring garments at an early age. She later went on to study at The School of the Art Institute in Chicago before moving to New York to complete her BFA in Fashion at Parsons School of Design.
Monica’s approach is to make lingerie that is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Early on, her ability to identify & address the needs of family & friends allowed her to gain a strong insight into the products we build for our growing customer base. Her thoughtful approach to design & fit allows our lingerie to fit your body based on your measurements, making it simple to order online.
All of these strategies for better, more thoughtful design have made Uye Surana a favorite with ethical shoppers, stylish individuals & those just seeking everyday comfort and beauty.
