The Reclaiming Room

"What the Choir keeps, it keeps in the dark. What it can bear to release, it brings here — catalogued, named, and let go, so a relic might be worn again instead of buried. Take what calls to you. Carry it up."

Browse the Relics

Every piece is a relic

★

Each garment here is made by hand, one of one, from reclaimed and remade material — nothing mass-produced, nothing repeated. Every piece carries a name and a story from the world of Gilded Ruin, and every piece is exactly itself.

You can buy on the plain description alone and never read a word of the lore. But if a piece pulls at you, its provenance is there — and a door, further down, into the world it came from.

The complete looks — sold whole, never separated. The prized relics of the archive.

Relic 01 · Nemea · released

The First Mother's Garden

the Vara's Coord

Named for Ninvara, the First Mother — whose myth is all blossom and beauty laid over grief. Pink as a garden grown on a grave; the butterfly and trailing leaves for the things that are kept and the things let go.

What it is: Two-piece coord. Pastel-pink corset with beaded appliqué, pastel flowers and lace, rhinestone-cord shoulder ties, butterfly appliqué at the waist, rhinestone-laced grommets at the left hip; white skirt hitched right and sewn open with lace, ruffle shorts beneath, one long beaded leaf-tail trailing, the other bustled.

The Saint's Coat — One Wing Only

the relic of Ephon

The relic of Ephon, the Grey Saint — who manifests but a single wing, and is whispered to be defective for it. The faithful do not yet understand: he carries one wing because he is half of one soul. To wear it is to wear the question the whole world is asking.

What it is: Multi-piece. Black suit coat with a single silver-rhinestone wing on the back, a feather pin at the breast, pleather lacing up the right, rhinestones along the hem; matched silver-rhinestone hip-shirt with pleather panels and a small white wing, attached pouch on a nylon strap with release buckle.

Relic 03 · Corvael · released

The Mourning-Vest of House Corvael

the Braided Crow

A mourning-vest of House Corvael, the crow braided by a hand that loved the dead it grieved. The wing sewn over the wing is the oldest Corvael secret in cloth. The rainbow at the hem is the light the cathedral tried to forbid.

What it is: Multi-piece. Navy knee-length handkerchief vest; a Celtic-braided crow hand-cut from cotton with an appliqué wing set over the shape, ringed in a circle; rainbow-rhinestone hem. Worn over a sequin shirt with a long sheer hip-drape set with resin rhinestones.

The Butterfly Reliquary

Red Choir Jacket

A Choir piece — the butterfly is the Reclaimed soul, remade and let loose, red for the cost of it. Worn by those who carry others out of the houses and refuse to be kept.

What it is: Multi-piece. Red-and-black heavier-fabric jacket, black-rhinestone lacing up the side, red beaded butterflies on the back; matched hip-belt with a silver butterfly buckle; half-red-linen hip-skirt included.

Relic 06 · Gilded Ruin · released

The Skull-and-Rose Streetwear

Gilded Ruin Coord

The gilded ruin itself, worn: gold laid over the skull, roses over the bone, beauty aged into something that remembers it is mortal. The brand's thesis in a single look.

What it is: Multi-piece. Black-and-gold streetwear pants and matching top; gold-rhinestone skull on the back with black lace and sequined roses; gold-leaf foil on the edges, deliberately aged.

Relic 07 · Lower City · released

The Red Foil Confessor

Streetwear Coord

A lower-city relic — the red of the tithe that falls hardest on the poor, cut as armor for the streets. For those who walk the lower city after the fifth bell and do not look at the wagons.

What it is: Multi-piece. Short-sleeve black-and-red shirt, red foil making the right side shine at an angle, corset grommets with black-rhinestone lacing; matching pants with red foil and many pockets, streetwear cut.

Silver Shoulder

A saintly relic — the draping beads at the shoulder like a blessing half-given. Silver for the cathedral's cold grace.

What it is: Khaki short-sleeve polyester-blend shirt, silver rhinestones down the front, a beaded shoulder with beads draping from the left arm.
