A second life starts with the print

Mustard, orange, coral and sage shapes from an old pair of pants become the visual map for a completely new garment.

Structure cut from softness

Curved cups, vertical seams and a straight cropped hem build corset discipline from the casual printed cotton.

Bows and a heart at the finish

Long shoulder ties soften the structure, while a black centre-back zip ends in a small gold heart pull—a precise final detail for a playful upcycle.
