Every piece in this collection started long before the campaign, with a flight, a fabric market, and a lot of opinions about silk. Here is how Château Hangover actually got made.
It started with the fabric
We flew to China to source the cloth ourselves, because the fabric is the whole personality of a piece. We wanted the specific weight of satin that drapes like it is a little tired, that dishevelled, lived in shine, and the only way to get it right was to touch it, hold it up to the light, and choose roll by roll.
Made in Vietnam
From there, every garment was made in Vietnam, the home of the labels we started this brand bringing to the world. Our makers there know how to build a corset properly: the boning, the layered panels, the lace up backs that hold their shape after the tenth wear, not just the first. Made in Vietnam is not a stamp for us. It is where the craft lives.
From sketch to sample
Each style went through rounds of sampling, adjusting the cinch of a waist, the fall of a hem, the exact place a strap should sit. Nothing made the cut until it felt as good on as it looked on the rail. We changed designs as we go, sometimes we spend weeks loving a sketch ended up discarding the idea when it doesn't look good in real life.
The result
Corset sets and separates that travel, resort wear that lasts. See everything the trip produced: Shop Château Hangover.
