In celebration of the launch of La Collection Ruché, we’re answering your most asked questions. From the inspiration behind the collection’s sculptural silhouettes to the signature fabric that defines our fit, this behind-the-scenes look offers insight into the thoughtful design process led by our founder, Lauren Bentley. Whether you're discovering the collection for the first time or looking to find your perfect piece, consider this your inside guide.

What inspired La Collection Ruché?

Our two main points of inspiration for this collection were the movement of the sea and the quiet sophistication seen along the French Riviera. We wanted to create something both sculptural and effortlessly feminine, honoring the women we create for.

What makes this collection unique?

Each style in the collection features artful ruching—an elegant construction element that creates fluidity and structure. This technique allowed us to manipulate the fabric, contouring key areas of the body and creating volume in others, resulting in incredibly flattering fits.

How do the styles fit?

Supportive and feminine, this collection is structured, bold, and romantic. Our underwire styles offer minimal bust coverage, due to the nature of this cup shape— we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes. All remaining styles share the trusted fits of our core collection, designed to enhance the body with grace and ease.

For personalized guidance, we always suggest using our Fit Concierge tool on each product page—or email us anytime!

Which piece is most versatile?

The most versatile piece in the collection is the Strapless Ruched Maillot. Elegant and understated, it transitions seamlessly from poolside lounging to evening plans— just add a flowing skirt or tailored pant for a refined day-to-night resort look.

Which fabric was used for the collection?

The collection was crafted with our iconic second-skin fabric—offering exceptional comfort, flexibility, and subtle contouring without ever feeling restrictive. Its soft-touch finish feels luxurious against the skin, while its durability ensures it holds up beautifully, season after season.

Why "ruché"?

“Ruché” speaks to both the defining detail of the collection—ruching—and our love for the art of fashion. It's a celebration of texture, form, and feminine strength. The name reflects our intention to design pieces that feel as meaningful as they are beautiful.

We hope this Q&A gave you a deeper understanding of the craftsmanship, fit, and philosophy behind La Collection Ruché. As always, we’re here to help—whether you have questions about styling, sizing, or selecting the perfect piece. We can’t wait to see you wearing and loving La Collection Ruché!
