At Ruaa Elmansuri, every piece tells a story, and our latest release, the Deadstock Drop, is no exception. This exclusive collection of six handmade corset tops is more than just a celebration of fashion; it’s a tribute to memories, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
The Deadstock Drop is a unique and intimate collection, designed from carefully curated fabrics I’ve gathered over the years during my time in London, Tripoli, and New York. Each corset top is one-of-a-kind, echoing the essence of timeless style, personal history, and the importance of sustainable fashion.
The Story Behind the Fabrics
The journey of the Deadstock Drop began years ago, long before this collection was envisioned. Each fabric in this line carries with it a memory from different phases of my life — from my early days studying design in London, to my high school years in Tripoli, to the bustling streets of New York, where I sourced some of the rare materials featured in these corsets.
- London: During my time studying fashion design, I built connections with local fabric vendors, sourcing limited-edition deadstock that now breathes new life into these pieces. These fabrics have been carefully stored, waiting for the perfect moment to be transformed.
- Tripoli: Some fabrics were collected back in my high school years, reflecting the rich textures and colors of my hometown, Tripoli. These pieces represent a bridge between my cultural heritage and modern design sensibilities.
- New York: Fast forward to my trip to New York, where I discovered unique deadstock fabrics tucked away in hidden corners of the city’s renowned fashion districts. These fabrics, once overlooked, have now found their place in this meaningful collection.
Sustainability Meets Style
At Ruaa Elmansuri, sustainability is at the core of our ethos, and the Deadstock Drop is a reflection of that commitment. Deadstock fabrics are often remnants or unused materials that would otherwise go to waste. By repurposing these fabrics, we are not only reducing waste but also creating exclusive pieces with a story — a true luxury in today’s world of fast fashion.
Each corset top in this collection is hand-crafted in London and made in extremely limited quantities. Once a piece is sold, it’s gone forever, making these designs as exclusive as they are sustainable.
The Design: A Celebration of Craftsmanship
The design of each corset top is a tribute to femininity, elegance, and the art of couture. Handmade in London, these pieces are meticulously constructed, blending classic corsetry techniques with modern silhouettes. The structured fit of the corset accentuates the waist, while the varying textures and patterns of the deadstock fabrics bring a sense of individuality to each design.
Each top is a one-of-a-kind statement piece, perfect for those who appreciate exclusivity and the beauty of thoughtful, sustainable design. Whether paired with tailored trousers for an elegant evening look or styled casually with denim for a more relaxed vibe, these corset tops are versatile, timeless, and unforgettable.
Limited Edition: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Drop
With only six handmade corset tops available, the Deadstock Drop is a truly limited edition. These exclusive pieces are not just garments; they are wearable art that reflects years of design experience, cultural inspiration, and a commitment to sustainability.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Ruaa Elmansuri history. Once these corset tops are gone, they won’t return, making them rare additions to any discerning wardrobe.
