Couture Values

The Vintage Couturière is founded by Olivia Torma, a couture artist, designer and maker specialising in the haute couture embroidery technique Crochet de Luneville.

Our collections are produced under the eponymous label Olivia Torma Couture in Brisbane Australia.

Our couture creations are made from high quality vintage and modern couture fabrics and surface embellishment materials with meticulous attention to design, cut, construction and finish.

We are committed to helping the fashion industry minimise its negative impact on the environment by keeping our collections small and unique and made to last a lifetime.

We also offer a concierge repair and alteration service for all our couture creations to ensure they stand the test of time and become treasured heirlooms.
