Founded in 2015 in Brooklyn, New York, by Maggie Bacon and Lily, Thistle & Spire is an intimates brand that challenges traditional lingerie aesthetics with a fierce, architectural approach. The female-founded label draws inspiration from gothic architecture, mythology, and science fiction, translating these influences into striking, unconventional designs. Thistle & Spire is best known for its signature embroidered bodysuits, such as the cult-favorite Medusa and Tigris styles, which feature intricate snake and tiger motifs designed to be shown off rather than hidden. The brand caters to a bold, self-assured audience, offering soft knits, sheer mesh, and structured corsetry that blur the line between innerwear and outerwear.
