Garter

A ribbon around the thigh is all it takes to stir desire. Subtly hidden under fabric or boldly revealed, the garter is far more than a simple accessory: it is a symbol, a promise, a thrill. At Maison Close, each garter is designed as an invitation to embrace the art of detail — the detail that enhances a woman’s legs with elegance and sensuality.

Pleasure pieces for every woman

Each Maison Close garter is crafted as a standalone piece, ready to awaken the senses. Black lace, satin ribbon, soft bands or light fabric — our creations embrace every taste, style, and body. Available in one size, they fit the mid-thigh perfectly, never constricting the skin, to shape the silhouette with precision.

Paired with a lingerie set, a panty or a bra, the garter becomes a captivating detail. It slides above the knee or higher on the thigh, worn alone or with stockings, according to one’s desire. Hidden in a drawer or nestled in a basket of accessories, it waits for its moment — a game, a ceremony, a private interlude.

Traditions and bold new styles: the art of wearing a garter

For centuries, the garter has been part of French traditions. At weddings, the bride wears it as a lucky charm, often auctioned off during the celebration. This ancient ritual, blending modesty and daring, has crossed the ages — and today finds its way into new contexts, free of convention.

Why two garters? One for the tradition, one as a keepsake. Some women even prefer to wear them as a pair, creating a mirror effect on the legs or simply extending the pleasure of the detail.

Garter vs suspender: the words of desire

While the garter is an independent accessory worn around the thigh, the suspender connects the garter belt to stockings. Two words, two intentions, two languages of the body. Maison Close explores the art of combining or contrasting them, depending on the desired effect.

And for men? The garter is not exclusive to women. Through history, it has been worn by soldiers and aristocrats as a symbol of rank or distinction. Even today, its name resonates in memory, in literature, in the games of a night or a shared fantasy.

Unique pieces, desirable prices

Each Maison Close garter is an invitation. A gesture. A wink. And while the price remains accessible, the sensation is always precious. All our garters are offered in pairs, ready to slip into a lingerie set or combine with other body accessories to compose a look that is both bold and unexpected.

Our creations all speak a sensual language — whether it’s French or English. Because the language of desire is universal.

FAQ: All about the garter

What is the tradition of the garter?

At weddings, the bride wears a garter on her thigh. It is then removed or auctioned off. A French tradition, tinted with eroticism and meaningful glances.

Why two garters?

It is common to wear two: one for tradition and one to keep as a memory. One is often thrown, the other lovingly preserved.

What’s the difference between a garter and a suspender?

The garter is an accessory worn around the thigh and does not attach to anything. The suspender, however, is a strap used to hold up stockings, usually attached to a garter belt. Two words, two functions, one shared world of seduction.
