The Luxury Handbags guide to Magda Butrym

Magda Butrym is the rare contemporary label with a signature you can read across a room. Since 2014 the Warsaw-based designer has made the hand-formed rose her calling card, and built a romantic, sculptural language around it that sits between couture detail and real-life dressing. Below, our editor’s notes on what to buy, how it fits, and how to wear it.

What the label is known for

The 3D flower, almost always a rose, is the house code, rendered in leather, silk and knit and set on blouses, dresses, tops and accessories. Beyond the flower, Butrym is a tailoring and draping house, sharp shoulders and corsetry on one hand, bias-cut slips and fluid jersey on the other. Expect rich, saturated colour and natural fibres, cashmere and silk for the knits and slips, fine wool for the suiting, organza and lace for evening.

How to style it

A single rose-detail piece is the move, let it carry the look and keep everything around it quiet. A floral-appliqué blouse reads beautifully with high-waisted tailored trousers and a flat. For evening, a bias slip with a sculptural heel needs nothing more than an earring. The knitwear is a workhorse, a fitted rose-trim top under a blazer takes daytime dressing somewhere more considered.

Sizing and fit

Magda Butrym is cut in European sizing and runs close to the body through the bodice, with the tailoring true to size and the bias and draped styles designed to skim. Size up if you are between sizes in a corseted, fitted-waist piece. Use the chart below as a guide, and check each product page for the exact measurements.
