Vanyanís Engraved Busk – Antique Black
School Shop, Engraved BusksOur busks are made in Germany and then engraved by hand in Melbourne (Australia)!
Inspired by the antique corsets of the Victorian era, these original Engraved Busks are created by Vanyanís and are the first of their kind in about 100 years! These high quality German 'silver' stainless busks have been carefully engraved with a delicate antique black laurel leaf design on each loop of the busk. The Antique Black engraving is a lovely fusion of old and new. From some angles the engraved laurel can appear gold and in direct light it appears black. It really does depend on the light and this lovely two-toned effect gives the busk a gorgeous antique feel.
Using the very best of modern technology the pretty laurels come up crisp and clear on each loop and do not rub off or wear away. They are the perfect finishing touch for your special corset, whether you're recreating an antique design or just love luxurious little details in your corsetry. Engraved Busks are not made anywhere else in the world - they are unique to Vanyanís and now available to you! We can't possibly make corsets for everyone so have made these available to everyone so that anyone can enjoy these very special busks.
For more information about our busks check out the 'tabs' below.
Nadja Black Mesh Corset
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Nadja mesh underbust corset is an exquisite example of what's possible when you combine luxurious fabrics, textured embellishments and stunning craftsmanship. Made with a strong black corsetry mesh overlaid with a delicate leavers lace, this corset feels light to wear but is strong enough to withstand tight lacing so you can show off your curves. The corset is semi-sheer so incredibly easy to style over your favourite clothes (or wear as lingerie if you prefer...)
As with all Vanyanís corsets, the Nadja corsets features a sleek silhouette and a smooth wrinkle free finish on the fabric. The steel bones are encased in external bone channels, evenly spaced around the corset so that when worn, it feels like a comfortable (but firm) hug. The bone casings, binding and front and back panels feature a luscious black satin fabric (the same used in our Ebonique Skirts) that is backed by a European cotton coutil for added strength.
The front and back panels of this curvy corset feature an embroidered lace with tiny black sequins woven through it. (Please note: We decorated the corsets for the photoshoot with some Swarovski crystals on the mesh panels. These crystals are not included on the product.)
The Nadja corset is made with the best materials we could find (a German steel black busk, velvet lining and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
Only 30 corsets are available, split across an extended size range (18"-44"), and we won't be re-stocking. We're thrilled with how perfectly this limited edition corset has turned out. Nadja has been a labour of love, and we hope you love this new design as much as we do. This corset is currently listed as a "clearance" item in our sale. Save 50% on this corset with code "baby2".
