Women's Huit knickers: Parisian minimalism

The women's Huit briefs come from a Parisian house founded in 1968, with a name that evokes the number eight and thus the female silhouette. The brand has established itself as a reference in luxury French lingerie, favouring minimalism over decoration.

What sets a Huit brief apart

The focus is on the material and the shape rather than ornamentation. Delicate lace, silks, clean cuts: the piece aims for elegance through simplicity, which distinguishes it from the more elaborate lines of its competitors at the same price point. This is a women's Huit brief chosen for its fall and finish, not for its pattern.

Huit, a brief house with a tumultuous history

Huit was acquired by the British group Eveden in 2010, came under the control of Wacoal in 2012 with the purchase of Eveden, and was then taken over in 2019 by Souad Sinai, owner of Absolutely Lingerie, who became its leader. These successive changes explain the variations in positioning and availability seen in the collections of recent years.

Choosing your brief size at Huit

The French sizing remains close to market standards. For the delicate lace and silk models, which are less stretchy, opt for the size up if you are in doubt: these materials do not forgive tension and become permanently deformed if worn too tightly. The same logic applies to the rest of the women's briefs, except that the margin for error is smaller here than elsewhere.
