Patra Silk crop tops are recommended by breast augmentation experts and dermatologists as a more comfortable alternative to bras

Dermatologists, GPs and a leading Harley Street clinic are recommending Patra Silks' range of silk crop tops for women who have undergone breast augmentation, cancer treatment or lumpectomies.

A leading Harley Street clinic are bulk-buying silk crop tops from international silk retailer, Patra Silks, to dispense to their patients as a more comfortable alternative to bras.

Patra's silk crop tops, which are made from interlocked silk and 5% elastane, have no underwiring and unlike normal bras, contain no nylon, which can irritate sensitive, post-operation skin. For added comfort, the range also has a seam-free crop top, which dermatologists and GPs have been recommending to patients who have undergone breast augmentation, cancer treatment or lumpectomies.

These silk crop tops have always been really popular with medical clinics, who often buy them in bulk to pass on to their patients. The silk is much kinder on skin than normal bras, so they're far more comfortable to wear.

Patra Silks introduces a new range of kids' silk base layers, ideal underneath children's ski wear.

International silk retailer, Patra Silks, today announced the addition of new pure silk kids' base layers, ideal for use under children's ski wear.

Patra Silks already stock a popular range of silk base layer garments, and have now introduced a whole new range just for children.  Perfect underneath children's ski wear, the new range of base layers consists of longjohns, vests and silk glove liners. Of long length and cuffed at the ankles and wrists, silk base layers fit snugly against the body and keep you comfortable, warm and dry.

Silk ski base layers are great - lightweight, warm and very fine, so they're extremely comfortable. As silk also wicks away moisture from the body, it makes the perfect skiing base layer.
