Not the kind of corset you blend into a room with.

A structured, sculpting piece designed to sharpen your silhouette and draw attention without trying too hard.

Made in limited runs and crafted to order, this is the kind of piece you keep coming back to.


Why this piece works:

• Shapes and defines the waist without feeling restrictive
• Adjustable velvet lacing and shoulder straps for a fully custom, body-contouring fit
• Structured enough to hold its form, comfortable enough for all-day wear
• Designed to be worn alone or layered depending on the look
• Handmade in small batches, not mass produced


The Arcadia Corset features an intricate embroidered motif inspired by medieval herbal manuscripts, reimagined through a modern lens.

At its centre, a vertical composition of botanical forms and watchful eyes creates something that feels both grounded and otherworldly. This is a piece that does not just complete an outfit, it defines it.

The structured silhouette is enhanced by adjustable velvet lacing, allowing you to contour the fit exactly to your body. Shoulder straps can be adjusted to sit higher or lower depending on your preference, while a hidden side zip keeps everything easy and wearable.

Made from recycled wool and crafted to order in our atelier.


How to wear it:

Wear it on its own for a sharper, statement look, or layer it over a blouse to soften the silhouette without losing structure.

Pairs just as well with tailored trousers for a more understated look as it does styled for evenings or events where you want to stand out.

Pricing

Each SOLAI piece is made to order in our own atelier in Galați, Romania, by our all-women team of skilled artisans. Learn more about the atelier →

We take pride in producing slowly, with intention — every garment is crafted with care, not mass-made. Our makers are paid living wages, and our studio is a creative haven, not a factory floor.

We work with sustainable materials, often reclaimed or recycled fabrics rerouted from landfill — because we believe in creating wearable art that respects & honours the earth that inspired it. 

When you invest in SOLAI, you're supporting:

  • Ethical, small-batch production

  • Artisan craftsmanship

  • Regenerative materials

  • A sustainable, art-rooted alternative to fast fashion

We're committed to transparency and will soon introduce Product Passports — QR codes included with each piece — that reveal the item's supply chain, so you can see exactly where, how, and by whom it was made.

Our pricing reflects the true cost of thoughtful creation. 

FAQs

How long does it take to receive my piece?

Each piece is made to order in our atelier and is typically ready for dispatch within 10 days or less.


Do you offer custom sizing?

Yes, we offer complimentary custom sizing (for most pieces) to ensure a perfect fit, with no additional production time.


What if I order the wrong size?

We offer free exchanges & returns for our EU/UK customers, including for custom pieces. Due to limited fabric availability, we recommend taking care when submitting custom measurements.


Will this be restocked?

We often work with limited-run or deadstock fabrics, so availability is extremely limited. Once sold out, this design may not return.

For orders outside the UK and EU, return shipping isn’t covered. However, you’re welcome to return your item using your own courier for a full refund.

Where is your clothing made?

All pieces are crafted in our atelier in Galati, Romania, by a talented team of all-women artisans, with a focus on detail, quality, and craftsmanship.


Is your production sustainable?

We choose to work with organic, deadstock, recycled & upcycled fabrics, meaning each piece is part of a limited, conscious production run.


Will my piece look exactly like the product images?

Each piece is crafted in limited fabric runs. If a new fabric variation is being used, this will always be clearly shown on the product page, with an updated image and note for full transparency. If no variation is noted, the piece will match the fabric shown in the main product images.
