Carmelita Bolero
Peau de Soie satin in Midnight — composed, deep, shaped for presence.
The Carmelita Bolero builds its surface from sampaguita petal appliqués: flat, layered, and placed with architectural precision, each petal cut and applied by hand so the composition reads as botanical without turning ornamental.
Silver threading traces vine and scroll motifs between the appliqués, catching light against the deep blue ground. In Midnight the satin absorbs light rather than returning it — the appliqués and silver threading emerging from the dark, light drawn from depth.
Made in two editions. The Classic is the appliqué and silver threading alone; the Embellished works pearl and crystal into the petals by hand, sharpening the play of light against the dark satin.
The butterfly sleeves rise with structured volume at the shoulder, carrying the appliqué into the silhouette's most expressive element. A covered button closes the front with deliberate punctuation. Crafted in small runs.
A modern Filipiniana study.
