A Revolutionary Approach to Intimate Architecture

The 812 Braided Bra represents a paradigm shift in sustainable textile innovation. Constructed from a single continuous lace-braided structure using certified TENCEL™ Lyocell yarn, this piece transcends traditional knit and woven methodologies to create something entirely new.

Engineered Comfort Through Tension

The proprietary braiding pattern creates dynamic zones of openness and support, adapting organically to your unique form. Each piece responds differently—no two bodies complete the structure in quite the same way, making your 800 distinctly yours.

Artisan Craftsmanship Meets Material Science

Handcrafted in small batches in the Adirondack Mountains of New York, every bra carries the subtle signatures of its making. What others might call variation, we recognize as evidence of process—the honest expression of considered craft.

Conscious Design

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers are derived from sustainably sourced wood through an environmentally responsible closed-loop process. Breathable, moisture-wicking, and gentle on sensitive skin, this next-generation material offers luxury without compromise.

This is not perfection. This is evolution in progress. Wear it. Test it. Help us define what it becomes.

Is 812 Sport crocheted, woven or knitted?

Tensengral products are braided on re-purposed, century-old lace braiding machines. The 801 Bra’s fabric is engineered to move with the natural weight and motion of the breasts, distributing tension evenly across a unified, linked structure. This fabric is designed to self-balance: subtle shifts in its architectural pattern continuously adapt, creating a hybrid textile that combines the fluidity of a knit with the stability of a braid.

Is 812 Sport Lace?

812 Sport Bra introduces a new form of performance lace crafted on circular lace braiding machines. Each bra is formed from a single continuous strip of fabric, woven with a purposeful tapestry of patterns. Within this strip, lightly elasticized straps and an underband are seamlessly integrated, eliminating the need for separate attachments. The bra is completed by binding the fabric’s ends together with a sewn or adhered seam.

How does 812's "balanced tension support" feel?

The 812 Sport Bra cradles and hugs with a linked filament structure that evenly distributes movement and support. Testers describe the sensation as weightless—like floating or swimming—while the fluid, interlaced fabric molds without pinching or pressure points. Many say it feels like wearing no bra at all, yet being gently held, like in a hammock.

How does 812's fabric conform and mold without using elasticized fibers?

812's fluid, interlaced fabric molds to the body under tension, much like a rope hammock that shifts with movement. The elasticized band and straps work with the filament network to balance tension evenly across the bra, preventing rubbing or pressure points on any single area.

Are 812 straps adjustable?

The lightly elasticized straps on the 801 are not adjustable.  The straps are seamlessly integrated with the body of the bra.  When fit properly the straps do not slip or fall off of the shoulders.  They tend to be set closer to the neck,

Will 812 mold to uneven or asymmetrical breasts?

812's non-elasticized fabric should mold to uneven and asymetrical breasts, and then attempt to balance itself so there is no wrinkling or buckling.  AMBI's non-rubbing qualities make it a practical alternative for post-breast surgery wear.

Is 812 sustainably manufactured?

812 is produced with care for the future by using a virtually zero-waste efficient manufacturing process that embraces "less-is-more" design principles by providing function in a minimalist way, using only patterned filaments. Learn More About Our Sustainability
