*Yva Richard was a French fetishwear company of the early 20th century, run by Nativa Richard and her husband. Founded in 1913, the company evolved into a successful mail-order business by the late 1920s, selling to brothels and private clients with specialized tastes. One of their most notorious creations was a studded steel cone bra and chastity belt with a feathered headdress.
