Aura the Label Clothing – 4 Favorite Linen Pieces

A bit of a linen snob, I’ve ordered and returned too many pieces over the years. Aura the Label Clothing is the first one that got it just right.

There’s something about linen clothing that just seems impossible to get right. Last summer, my patience was rewarded.

The Company

I think I had been online stalked by their ads for at least a year. They kept showing up in my Instagram and Facebook feed, and as I had never heard of them, I mostly ignored them — even though the pictures were ridiculously tempting.

Every piece is designed with the Aura muse in mind – the romantic yet powerful, strong yet feminine, and simple yet elegant woman. The designs are then handmade with love using sustainably-sourced materials by skilled Balinese artisans who live and breathe craftsmanship.

Returns / Exchanges

I actually had to exchange my pieces – all of them. Turns out their sizing is smaller than ours here in the USA. So I exchanged each piece for one size up.

Read their return policy here – it is store credit or exchange only.

There are not a lot of online reviews, which isn’t too surprising since all items are hand-made in Bali, and while shipping is free, it isn’t the speediest (think a few weeks to arrive vs a few days, which we are accustomed to). But I’m telling you, if you want elegant and timeless linen pieces — it is worth the wait!

Milan top (size up, L) | Florence shorts (size up, M)

Based on what I read and my quick communication with their customer service, I originally ordered small in the Monaco pants and Florence shorts, and medium in the Roma and Milan tops. I am typically a small in most bottoms and with structured tops, I often have to size up to medium, as I am a 32DDD. Unfortunately, everything in my original order was a size too small. I felt a little devastated!

I knew the quality and styling were amazing, though, and not one to be easily defeated, I used their pre-paid exchange label to return everything with a request for one size bigger in each item. I won’t lie, it did take a little longer than expected…but finally everything arrived, and it was all perfect.

(A note on shipping time, my original order arrived in 10 days…return/exchange took 3 weeks. So just a heads up there.  If you order 1 size up from your typical size, I really think you will be  good!)

Roma and Florence

Roma top (size up, L) | Florence shorts (size up, M)

I originally feared the Roma top would be too short, and while it does sometimes show a little skin, I don’t find it too short (and I am reasonably conservative). I also have a long torso, so generally tops are shorter on me than others. The bottoms also have a high enough waist to help balance the crop well, I think.

I think these pieces just scream summer, and they each come in five glorious colors! I happened to choose black, because I find it so incredibly versatile, and I wanted to be able to mix and match a lot, but also I worried about the lighter colors being see through.

Monaco and Milan

While I love all the pieces, my absolute favorite, if I could only keep two, would be the Monaco pants and the Milan top. My friend, Laura (the seamstress), came over to look and also fell in love with them and said they reminded her of Old Hollywood, in the very best way…ooh la la!

“Consciously crafted from the highest quality 100% linen for a beautifully soft texture and drape. One of our best-sellers, these pants make a versatile addition to your sustainable wardrobe. All our pieces are ethically handmade in Bali.”

The tops all have two layers of luxurious linen with a beautiful drape and incredibly rich color. I was able to comfortably wear a strapless bra with both tops (though I did have to pull the back strap down a little further without issue). You could also easily wear my favorite Nippies, or for the extra brave, no bra at all, haha!

The Milan top, is the perfect balance of sexy and sophistication. I never felt exposed or like I was showing too much skin. And the loose flowing pants pair so perfectly with the fitted top. These pieces are a match made in heaven!

I anticipate having and wearing these pieces for many years to come.

I hope you love these elegant and timeless linen pieces as much as I do!
