The Carving: 

We use natural un-dyed veg tanned leather in a thickness of 3.5mm to create this corset. The Carving process is completed over a number of days on wet leather panels, secured in place & allowed to dry naturally. For the Alchemist Corset, we designed a ‘traditional floral bouquet & scroll’ pattern on tracing paper & transferred it to the wet leather. We carve the leather by hand with a number of tools & knives. For the Alchemist corset we designed the front panel with a floral bouquet in a background seed bed. The side panels & centre back panels are carved with a more scroll effect design.

The ‘traditional floral bouquet & scroll’ carving process takes in excess of 50 hours.

Dyeing the Raven Colour: The dyeing process is completed by hand. Several layers of hand burnishing techniques are used to create the deep natural shades of this colour. The colour is designed to enhance the carving scroll. For the Raven colour, we use 5 different shades of blue & navy & then several darker tones up to the final layer of Black. Dyeing the Raven colour takes in excess of 10 hours.

The Alchemist Carved corset is part of our Haute Couture collection & the choice of carving design & placement can be adapted to the customers requirements. The price quoted includes all fittings, toile making & design consultations.
