.Adrina Dietra {AD} is a luxury lifestyle brand that strives to bridge the gap between essential body care goods & life's sensual needs for all shapes & sizes.

. With ethical production practices in mind, we craft luxury lingerie and sensuous apothecary & body care products. We utilize nickel free hardware, natural & compostable fabrics, as well as various dead stock fabrics, to help combat fashion waste. Conscious and luxurious, our body care products utilize vegan and essential oils and natural ingredients.

.We presently offer quality undergarments and accessories in both a ready to wear, as well as a made-to-measure platform, small batch natural apothecary goods, and coordinating zero waste products. Blended with the highest intentions across these offerings from our own personal, in-house manufactured brand, is a highly curated selection of garments, accessories, and relevant zero waste house wears from additional like-minded designers.

.We do also offer custom and bespoke garment creations from either a standard base provided by us, or anything created from our client's most vivid imaginations, while keeping within our standard esthetic.

.Our collections, more often than not, combine inspirations from vintage and antique fashions, objects, and images, as well as charity works and activism in an attempt to make beauty apparent in unlikely places. Typically, the works are categorized into the three branches of thought -- deep {dark} desires, extravagant fantasies, and a merging of the two.

.Our product perfectly suits the champions of self-care and the lingerie lover that will enjoy our garments pieces as inner and/or outer wear. It also suits costuming and styling industries that work within performance arts such as theatrical engagements, burlesque, television, and movies.

Fabrics & Sourcing.

At A.D, we love to use fabrics that are made of natural fibers {often sourced here in the United States} so they are easily compostable when at the absolute end of their lives.

When possible, we also utilize vintage and antique fabrics and remnants, or remains of close outs, to help combat eventual fashion waste.

We also constantly research and utilize new fibers/fabrics that are produced using reduced water supplies, created without the use of harsh chemicals, or are produced in controlled environments that reduce the risk of deforestation.

A.D often enhances garments utilizing small batches of natural dyes such as with fruits, beans/nuts, flowers, tea leaves, and other wonders of nature.

Manufacturing & Production.

Most of the design process takes place in Ithaca, NY. We create limited edition made-to-measure and ready-to-wear capsule collections and decadent natural apothecary goods in small batches/runs to avoid overproduction. We pride ourselves on being a living-wage paying company with many health and safety mandates in place.

Our core collections are sometimes produced in small, close-knit factories, here in the United States. We outsource in small batches, again, to avoid over producing, but to keep up with the ever evolving demand.

Our sizing and product type availability constantly evolves to grow in tandem with our growing clientele base.

Our Commitment to the Community.

At A.D, we are passionate about giving back to our community.

We have launched ‘The Ife Project’ to do our part in the sector we know best, with a focus on contributing to the portions of our community hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic {and beyond}. Our aim is to bridge the gap in essential body care, undergarment, and toiletry needs for all genders and age ranges.
