The immortal words; "There has got to be something better to do...let's hitch!" put us on the path to a friendship based on a mutual fearlessness, love of dancing in the rain, understanding that shoes are always optional, sarcasm and sewing! Years later another sentence changed our lives; "I want to learn how to make corsets!" And with a; "COOL!" we started a new journey. This one would take us in
different directions but never too far apart. Tin Corsetry ( https://www.facebook.com/Tin-Corsetry-246399215374408/?fref=ts ) became the home of delightfully sinful quality vinyl corsets. Based in Cape Town but shipped around South Africa by the pony express. Tanya started to explore millinery and leatherwork, honing her talents to become a masterful artisan
Corsets by Tanielle ( https://www.facebook.com/corsetsbytanielle/?fref=ts ) stayed in Durban and specialized in creating corsets using fabrics like lace and satin, catering for the more alternative bride. Tanielle was drawn to the lingerie side of shape wear exploring the female form and its ability to be moulded into a desired silhouette. The goal was always to work together, the dream was a shop of our very own creations. The freedom of being our own bosses and loyal partners, experimenting with corsets and adornments that were the perfect end to a fabulous outfit.
