Helene

Behold: the everything-you’ve-ever-dreamed-of holiday top, whose puff-sleeved, bare-shouldered glamour extends far beyond the holiday season (but oh what a treat it would be to have the dream in your closet for December through January). The Helene is made with soft Japanese velvet, its body the ideal shape for tucking in and out. Named after Helene Cixous, a novelist, literary critic and poet famous for her work that explores gender, bisexuality and the unconscious mind, this top is unafraid to declare itself to a room, to make its presence known — and invite its wearer to feel deliciously, almost impossibly sexy.

By eliminating third party retailers, AMMARA is able to charge less than a third of the margin you pay at a department store. This allows us to provide you with the highest caliber product at the best possible price. We work with the most luxurious fabrics like Sea Island Cotton — about four times as expensive as regular cotton poplin, and Four Ply Crepe — a type of silk most often used in couture garments. Our factories are the best in their class, run by professionals with over forty years of experience working with designer garments. AMMARA shirts are designer quality shirts at much more accessible price points.
