Hi, my name is Anastasia and I am the founder of STASHE.
I started the small fashion brand from the vintage tapestry collection. Our corsets are crafted from upcycled vintage tapestries that were used as wall hangings back in 1960s - 1970s. They were a very popular home decor in Europe during those times.
When I was a kid my family used to have many vintage decor pieces at home, including these tapestries. I remember looking above at the "Red Riding Hood" tapestry hanging on the wall of my room and dreaming about fairy tales.
These days tapestries are being replaced by pictures or art for dexoratio purposes. These vintage textiles are mostly sitting somewhere in storages or being wasted.
Once we are able to find a good quality tapestry, we upcycle it to give it a second life as part of our corsets, belts, and jackets. We can't find two identical tapestries that makes each of our garments one of a kind piece.
