The Artifact
Grounded in Scandinavian architectural discipline and trained within the fashion programs of Central Saint Martins and Kingston University London, Luxury Scraps is a return to the origin of pure craft. Born in Sardinia and assembled in Apulia, this piece is a visceral, unrepeatable artifact—engineered with the precision of a structural designer, but crafted with the soul of an artisan.
The Materials
A relic of light. Archive N25/024 is a 1-of-1 sculptural top created from a found archival panel, heavily adorned with hand-sewn silver and translucent bugle beads. This singular textile was rescued and meticulously hand-finished in our studio, transforming a forgotten fragment of glimmer into a wearable piece of art.
The density of the vintage beadwork represents a level of craftsmanship where each stitch tells the story of a previous life. Engineered for a personal fit, the top features adjustable silk ribbon ties at the shoulders and front, allowing the wearer to sculpt the silhouette to their body. It is an irreplicable expression of circular luxury—a fragment of the past preserved for a new future.
All materials for this piece have been carefully regenerated and repurposed to create a unique, artisanal and one of a kind piece, impossible to replicate. Handmade in italy by the designer Emanuel Bianco.

BECAUSE THIS TOP IS A UNIQUE WORK OF ART CRAFTED FROM AN UPCYCLED EMBROIDERED PANEL, IT REQUIRES GENTLE HANDLING TO PROTECT THE DELICATE BEADWORK AND SILK TIES.
PROFESSIONAL SPECIALTY CLEAN ONLY: DUE TO THE HIGH DENSITY OF HAND-SEWN SILVER AND TRANSLUCENT BUGLE BEADS, THIS PIECE MUST ONLY BE HANDLED BY A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER EXPERIENCED WITH COUTURE-LEVEL EMBELLISHMENTS.
ANTI-SNAGGING STORAGE: STORE THE TOP INSIDE-OUT IN A SOFT, BREATHABLE COTTON GARMENT BAG TO PREVENT THE BEADS FROM CATCHING ON OTHER CLOTHING AND TO PROTECT THE SILK BOWS.
AVOID JEWELRY SNAGS: WHEN DRESSING, BE MINDFUL OF RINGS OR BRACELETS THAT COULD SNAG THE INTRICATE THREADWORK HOLDING THE BUGLE BEADS IN PLACE.
REGULATE WITH CARE: WHEN ADJUSTING THE STRAPS OR FRONT TIES TO YOUR SIZE, PULL GENTLY TO AVOID PUTTING UNNECESSARY TENSION ON THE HAND-SEWN ATTACHMENT POINTS.
NO DIRECT HEAT: NEVER IRON THE BEADED AREAS, AS HIGH HEAT CAN DAMAGE THE TRANSLUCENT BEADS OR THE DELICATE UPCYCLED FABRIC. USE A COOL STEAMER FROM A DISTANCE IF NECESSARY TO REFRESH THE SILK TIES.
