The Curtain & The Table - Black Antique Lace Edition (S/M)

From Between Rooms to Wardrobe | One of a Kind | Upcycled | Handcrafted in Amsterdam

This piece began from two faded household textiles: a curtain and a tablecloth.

Both naturally worn by time, we later (summer 2025) overdyed in black while preserving the irregular tones and texture variations of the original fabrics.

This spring (April 2026) is reworked into a multifunctional garment that can be worn in several ways.

No second piece exists.

Story : The construction was developed by adapting to the original textiles rather than reshaping them completely.

Pintucks (tiny pleats) and folded areas were carefully added to bring both fabrics into the same length and rhythm while preserving as much of the original material as possible. Antique lace panels dyed in black tones have also been added, and two large straps made from a piece of tablecloth are detachable with mother-of-pearl buttons. Finally, the elastic is hidden at the top of the piece, but we chose the highest quality soft black elastic to create this beautiful piece and ensure it stays in place when worn as a skirt or a dress.

The lace panels are the central feature of the piece, adding movement and contrast to the structured silhouette.

It is designed to be worn on both sides.

We believe the raw used textiles date back to the 1940s–60s.

Now, they continue their life in a completely new form.

Ways to Wear: Can be worn as:

• Maxi skirt

• Strapless midi dress
