The Olea Dress
RE-MADE COLLECTION 2
Our second deadstock dress is the gorgeous Olea dress, which is a soft crinkle two-layer cotton fabric. Sourced from a luxury family-ran Portuguese factory, we knew this had to use this deadstock fabric in our collections.
Deadstock fabric is unused fabrics from factories that typically just goes to waste. We luckily purchased the rest of the fabric, which is only around 50 metres!
The design was inspired by the molten gold trim that we sourced, unique to Capri Swimwear. We decided to make this the main feature for the dress by having it as the focal point of the dress. The beautiful details don't end there, the open and strappy back creates a timeless statement.
Now, our London factory is ready to make these pieces on a made-to-order basis. Please be sure to get your orders in early because once this fabric is gone, it’s gone for good!

This item is part of our most limited-edition collection because once the fabric is gone, it's gone for good. Orders are open for a limited time and will be fulfilled by 13th September 2024.
What is Deadstock Fabric?
Deadstock fabrics are the “leftovers” of the fashion industry.
These are fabrics that ended up either not going to the intended buyer at all or not being made into finished garments. Historically, most of these deadstock fabrics would be simply thrown away, eventually making their way into landfills.
