The Zaafran Waltz corset brings the opulence of Tlemcen’s traditional mensouj intimately close to the body.
Its structured, Victorian-inspired silhouette is cut from handwoven gold brocade, with fine green metallic stripes accentuating the curves of the waist. A clean, strapless neckline leaves the shoulders bare, while sleeves of golden dentelle de Calais introduce a sheer, romantic softness.
Delicate sfifa and aâkad frame the corset’s edges and continue around the back, bringing the intricacy of Algerian dressmaking into its sculpted construction.
There is something irresistible about the contrast: the discipline of corsetry, the richness of Algerian ceremonial silk, the suggestion of skin beneath lace.

• Handwoven gold mensouj from Tlemcen

• Internal boning for structure and support
• Traditional sfifa and aâkad detailing around the perimeter and back
• Invisible side zip
