The Artifact
Designed and entirely hand-constructed by Emanuel Bianco. Grounded in Scandinavian architectural discipline and honed within the high-fashion ateliers of London and Milan, 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
Archive N25/025 is a study of weightness. The soul of this piece is a vintage Italian silk discovered in a local market—a rare remnant featuring a complex, feathered appliqué technique. This specific fabric manipulation is a rarity today; its labor-intensive nature was once the hallmark of high-end Italian mills and archival Haute Couture, but is no longer cost-effective for modern production. Likely engineered to ensure no fiber of the precious silk was wasted, the resulting texture creates an unrivaled sense of motion. By rescuing this archival find, we have created a 1-of-1 sculptural top that breathes and dances with the wearer.
Engineered with a reversible soul, it can be worn with the dramatic bow at the front or the deep split at the back—an irreplicable fragment of textile history.
All materials for this garment 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.

THIS GARMENT IS CRAFTED USING A COMPLEX LAYERING TECHNIQUE OF 90% SILK CHIFFON. PROPER HANDLING IS ESSENTIAL TO MAINTAIN THE MAGICAL MOVEMENT OF THE APPLIQUÉ "FEATHERS" AND THE INTEGRITY OF THE SILK FIBERS.
PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEAN ONLY: DUE TO THE DELICATE NATURE OF THE HAND-APPLIED CHIFFON FRAGMENTS AND THE HIGH SILK CONTENT, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEANING BY A SPECIALIST FAMILIAR WITH COUTURE-LEVEL TEXTILES.
HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE: THE SMALL PIECES OF SHEER CHIFFON THAT CREATE THE FEATHERED EFFECT ARE SENSITIVE TO FRICTION. AVOID WEARING JEWELRY OR CARRYING BAGS WITH SHARP HARDWARE THAT COULD SNAG THE DELICATE LAYERS.
STEAMING OVER IRONING: NEVER USE A TRADITIONAL IRON, AS DIRECT HEAT CAN FLATTEN THE FEATHERED TEXTURE OR SCORCH THE SILK. USE A HANDHELD STEAMER ON A LOW SETTING FROM A DISTANCE OF 6–8 INCHES TO REFRESH THE FABRIC AND REVIVE THE NATURAL VOLUME OF THE APPLIQUÉ.
AVOID MOISTURE AND PERFUME: SILK CHIFFON IS HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO WATER SPOTTING AND CHEMICAL DAMAGE. APPLY PERFUME, HAIRSPRAY, AND LOTIONS BEFORE DRESSING TO PREVENT STAINING THE FABRIC.
PROPER STORAGE: STORE THE TOP ON A WIDE, PADDED HANGER TO MAINTAIN ITS STRUCTURAL DRAPE. KEEP IT INSIDE A BREATHABLE COTTON GARMENT BAG IN A COOL, DARK PLACE TO PROTECT THE SILK FROM LIGHT-INDUCED FADING AND DUST.
MANAGING THE TIES: ENSURE THE FRONT BOW IS GENTLY UNTIED BEFORE CLEANING OR STORAGE TO PREVENT PERMANENT CREASING IN THE SILK RIBBONS
