What are reworked corsets, and what are their advantages?

Fashion is a creative form of expression that many of us enjoy. But unfortunately, the fashion industry also has a huge impact on the environment. It's important that we start making more sustainable fashion choices to reduce our impact on the environment. VintageBambi believes in creating fashion that is sustainable, unique, and tailored to you. We believe there's a huge need in the fashion industry to reuse used garments to reduce waste and pollution. That's why we create corsets for you using only secondhand materials.

What are reworked corsets and how are they made?

The word 'reworked' comes from the English verb 'to rework', which means 'to rework' in German.
Reworked corsets are handmade garments made from second-hand materials. At Vintage Bambi, we collect second-hand clothing to create unique corsets. The clothing is carefully cleaned, disinfected and sorted, and the most suitable material for each corset is selected.
We use a variety of materials, including denim and sweatshirt fabric, to give each corset its own unique personality.
Sometimes we also use branded items or heavily patterned clothing to give the corsets a particularly individual look.
After washing and sorting, the second-hand clothing is cut and sewn together to create a new garment.
We use corset boning to maintain the shape of the corset and back lacing to enable it to be adjusted to fit the wearer's body. Each corset is carefully handcrafted in our German studio to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail.

So, what makes our reworked corsets sustainable?

VintageBambi is committed to making sustainable fashion choices. We believe in repurposing used garments to reduce waste and pollution. Our refashioned corsets are made from second-hand clothing, so we don't need to buy or produce any new fabric. By reusing existing materials, we are helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry and promote a circular economy. We'd also like to point out that our clothing is handmade in Germany to minimise the environmental impact of long transport routes.

So, what are the advantages of our reworked corsets?

They are a more environmentally friendly choice, and by purchasing one, you can also support a local designer. By using second-hand garments, we at Vintage Bambi reduce material waste and old clothing remnants. In most cases, we only find each material once, ensuring that each corset is one of a kind. They beautifully complement your personal style and are limited edition.
