Quick answer

Choose the Tanya string if you prefer a little more coverage with a feminine, modern look. Choose the Emily string if you love delicate, light-colored lace with a romantic scalloped edge.

Coverage and silhouette

The Tanya string features wider lace panels on the back, giving it slightly more coverage than a traditional string. This makes it a great option if you want the minimal look of a string but with a bit more fabric for comfort or modesty.

The Emily string has a classic string silhouette with a wavy scalloped edge at the top front. The lightweight, delicate lace creates a barely-there feel that emphasizes femininity.

Color and styling options

The Tanya string is available in black, a versatile shade that pairs easily with the matching Tanya bra fill, wire bra, or bralette for a coordinated set. The black color also makes it a practical everyday choice.

The Emily string shines in light, romantic tones like butter yellow. The pale color combined with the scalloped edge gives it a distinctly elegant, almost vintage-inspired look that stands out from darker lace options.
