A Closer Look at the Collection

A Closer Look at the Collection

Miron Bradic

Thoughtful design. Personal fit. Pieces made to be worn.

At Bradic, every piece begins with two questions: what material is actually right for this garment, and how does it need to be constructed to last. The collection reflects those answers. Seven pieces, each with a specific material logic, each made by hand in Croatia, each produced in a limited number.

Here is a closer look at what each piece is and why it works.


Silk Slip Dress in 25 Momme Mulberry Silk

Available in champagne and midnight black. Each colorway is a separate piece, 1 of 30.

These are the two centrepiece garments in the collection. Both are cut from 25 momme mulberry silk, which is at the heavy end of what is used for slip dresses. The additional weight produces a drape that lighter silk cannot replicate: fluid, controlled, and weighted enough to move decisively rather than floating away from the body.

The construction is bias cut, which means the fabric is cut at 45 degrees to the grain. This is what allows silk to follow the body’s curves rather than hanging straight from the shoulders. It is also what makes the dress sensitive to fit: a bias-cut dress in the wrong proportions does not hang correctly regardless of the material. Both dresses are made to your measurements for this reason.

Seams are French seams throughout. The raw edges are enclosed completely inside a double seam, which eliminates fraying, removes the interior shadow that lighter silk construction can show through the fabric, and extends the structural lifespan of the seam significantly over conventional finishing.

The champagne and black are not interchangeable pieces with different colorways. They are distinct in how they wear and what they work with. The champagne reads as evening in almost any context. The black works across a broader range of occasions and is the more versatile of the two as a wardrobe piece.

Both come with adjustable, reinforced straps and a signed certificate numbered within the edition of 30.

Made to measure. Measurements required: shoulder width, torso length, bust, waist, hip, and preferred hem length.

Silk Slip Dress in 19 Momme Mulberry Silk

Open edition.

The 19 momme version is the everyday entry point into silk construction. At this weight, the silk is lighter than the 25 momme pieces but still above the threshold where drape and longevity are noticeably compromised. 19 momme is a serious fabric weight for a slip dress, appropriate for regular wear and capable of lasting years with correct care.

The construction follows the same principles as the signature pieces: bias cut, mulberry silk, French seams. The difference is weight, edition structure, and price point. This piece is available as an open edition, which means it is not limited to a run of 30 and is available without the waiting period of the made-to-measure signature pieces.

Because it is an open edition in standard sizing, it suits buyers who want quality silk construction at a more accessible entry point and who fit standard sizing well enough for a slip dress to work without individual adjustment.

Worth knowing. The weight difference between 19mm and 25mm is perceptible in person. The 19mm dress is correct and genuinely well-made. The 25mm dress is heavier, drapes differently, and is the better long-term investment piece if budget allows.

Double-Faced Cashmere Coat

Limited edition, 1 of 12.

A double-faced coat has no lining. The interior face of the fabric is the garment’s interior, which means both sides must be as clean as each other. The edge finishing is done entirely by hand: at every perimeter edge, the two fabric layers are separated manually, each layer folded inward independently, and the folded edges joined with slip stitching that is invisible from both sides.

This process takes between 8 and 14 hours per coat in edge finishing alone. It cannot be machine-replicated. The result is an edge that appears to simply terminate cleanly, with no visible stitching, no binding, and no lining fold showing anywhere.

Cashmere as a material adds warmth at lower weight than wool. A double-faced cashmere coat is warm without the heaviness of a lined wool equivalent. The absence of lining also means better temperature regulation: no synthetic layer trapping heat, no polyester against the body in warmer weather. The coat responds to temperature changes more naturally than a conventionally lined coat.

The silhouette is minimal. The coat is designed to be the thing you reach for when you want to be dressed without effort, and to look correct whether worn open or closed, indoors or out.

Worth knowing. Double-faced finishing is among the most labor-intensive construction methods available. Its presence in a coat is one of the clearest signals that production time per piece was not a constraint.

Midnight Blue Wool Skirt

100% virgin wool, 240 GSM. Mulberry silk lining. 1 of 45.

240 GSM is the right weight for a tailored A-line skirt. Heavy enough to hold structure and drape with authority, light enough to move correctly and not create bulk at the waistband. Virgin wool at this weight holds its shape across seasons of wear in a way that lighter or blended wool does not.

The construction is A-line, which means the skirt flares gradually from the waist through the hip. The waistband sits at the natural waist and is interfaced with fabric interfacing rather than fused interfacing, which maintains structure while allowing the waistband to move naturally rather than feeling stiff. The closure is a hidden zip with a hook-and-eye at the waistband, distributing closure stress correctly so the zip is not bearing the full tension at the top stop.

The lining is full mulberry silk. It covers the entire interior of the skirt including the waistband facing. Silk lining against the body eliminates friction against the outer fabric, manages temperature correctly, and does not generate static cling against tights or other clothing.

Midnight blue as a color functions as a neutral in most combinations. It works with everything from a white shirt to a charcoal blazer to a fine knit, which is the practical argument for it as a wardrobe piece rather than a statement piece.

Made to measure. Measurements required: waist, hip, waist-to-hip distance, and skirt length.

Linen Oversized Shirt

Open edition.

Linen is the correct material for a summer shirt. The hollow fiber structure creates natural ventilation that synthetic fabrics cannot replicate: as body temperature rises, air circulates through the fiber and moisture is released into the air rather than accumulating against the skin. In warm weather and humid conditions, linen keeps you cooler than cotton or any synthetic alternative.

The oversized cut is intentional and functional. It creates airflow between the fabric and the body, which amplifies the ventilation properties of the linen. It also works as a layering piece over slip dresses, swimwear, or on its own as a lightweight summer dress depending on proportions.

Linen wrinkles. This is not a defect. It is a property of the fiber’s low elasticity, and the wrinkles that develop with wear are part of the fabric’s character. Quality linen softens with each wash while maintaining its structural integrity, which means the shirt improves with use rather than deteriorating.

Worth knowing. If unwrinkled appearance throughout the day is a requirement, linen is not the right choice. If breathability and longevity in warm weather are the priority, linen is the correct one.

Floral Silk-Cashmere Scarf

Limited edition, 1 of 49.

A close-up of a person wearing a cashmere coat and a silk cashmere patterned scarf with floral embroidery in red, orange, green, and blue.

The scarf is a silk-cashmere blend, which combines the drape and luster of silk with the warmth and softness of cashmere. Each fiber contributes something the other cannot: silk gives the fabric its fluid movement and the ability to carry a printed pattern with the clarity and depth that natural fiber dye absorption produces. Cashmere gives it warmth and the particular softness against skin and neck that silk alone does not have.

The floral pattern works because of the fabric, not despite it. Printed on a silk-cashmere ground, the colors have depth and variation that the same pattern on synthetic fabric cannot achieve. Natural fibers absorb dye unevenly at the fiber level, which produces the slight variation in tone that makes the pattern look painted rather than printed.

A scarf at this material level is a wardrobe piece rather than an accessory. It works across seasons: light enough for spring and autumn, warm enough for mild winter, and adds visual interest to any monochrome outfit without requiring anything else to change.

Best for. Adding one element of interest to a quiet outfit. Works over a coat, around the neck with a shirt, or tied to a bag.

Olive Wool Vest with Burgundy Lining

1 of 20.

The vest is tailored in olive wool with a full burgundy silk lining. The two decisions, olive exterior and burgundy interior, are related: the burgundy lining is occasionally visible when the vest is worn open or when reaching, and it creates a specific contrast that makes the piece more interesting than a neutral-on-neutral combination would be.

The olive reads as a neutral in most contexts. It works with black, navy, cream, camel, and most other neutrals without creating a color conflict. The tailored structure means it works equally over a silk blouse, a fine knit, or a shirt, and it functions as a lightweight alternative to a blazer for occasions where structure is appropriate but a full jacket is too much.

The burgundy lining is silk. In a vest worn close to the body, the lining is what you feel. Silk against skin does not generate static, regulates temperature appropriately, and has the surface quality that polyester lining cannot replicate at any price.

This is a limited piece at 1 of 20, which reflects the quantity that can be correctly made at the construction standard the piece requires.

Worth knowing. The vest is the piece in the collection that works hardest across different contexts. It elevates a simple outfit without announcing itself, which is what good tailoring does.

The Collection as a Whole

Seven pieces, each with a specific material and construction logic. Nothing here is interchangeable with what mass production offers at the same price point, because the materials and the production method are structurally different from what is standard at any scale.

Each piece is made after it is ordered. Nothing exists in inventory waiting for a buyer. The production limit is not a marketing decision. It is the number that can be made correctly.
