In the Victorian era, mourning was not merely a private sorrow, but a complex language of memory and love, often expressed through jewelry. Hair, considered the most enduring part of a person, was intricately woven into keepsakes. Our Mourning Belt revives this profound tradition, reinterpreted with haunting elegance for the modern soul.
The Eternal Weave: A Gothic Tribute
We have meticulously crafted an elastic, grass-woven band whose texture and intricate pattern directly emulate the look and feel of woven human hair. This design choice honors the authenticity of Victorian-era rituals while offering contemporary comfort, flexibility, and durability. It serves as a symbolic stand-in—a permanent and poignant reminder of the loved one it commemorates.
A Statement in Two Parts: Complete or Bespoke
Understanding that personal expression is key, the Mourning Belt offers two paths:
1. The Complete Heirloom: Acquire the finished masterpiece—a belt where the Gothic-inspired hand buckle is perfectly paired with our signature textured waistband, ready to be worn as a complete narrative.
2. The Bespoke Creation: For those who wish to weave their own story, we offer only the ornate hand buckle. This allows you to source your own waistband material—be it leather, velvet, or even a ribbon of personal significance—and create a truly one-of-a-kind piece. The buckle becomes the centerpiece of your personal memorial.
The Mourning Belt is more than just an accessory; it is a wearable elegy. It is a belt that tells a story, a Gothic statement piece that carries a deep personal history.

Embracing small joys
Established in the late autumn of 2022, Atelier Reverdie is a fashion atelier that travels through time. We specialize in the historical reconstruction of garments from the 19th to early 20th centuries, recreating the lavish skirts of the Victorian era, the elegant lines of the Edwardian period, and the golden flowing years of the Belle Époque to museum-grade standards.
Each piece adheres to historical authenticity in craftsmanship—from researching period-specific tailoring and sourcing historically accurate fabrics to employing traditional hand-stitching techniques and reconstructed patterns. Our artisans are not merely tailors but translators of history, weaving the aesthetic codes of each era into every stitch.
In addition to haute couture clothing, we have extended three essential subsidiary lines:
· Vintage Women's Shoes: Reproducing classic footwear from various periods, balancing historical elegance with modern comfort.
· Antique Accessories: Meticulously recreating era-appropriate accessories to complement our garments.
· Period Jewelry: Reviving historically accurate design aesthetics through heritage techniques, creating collectible jewelry pieces.
At Atelier Reverdie, we believe clothing is wearable historical poetry. Each custom-made piece is not merely an garment, but a wearable work of art, inviting you to engage in an elegant dialogue across time with the elegance of the past.
