Designer Spotlight: VAGABOND BRIDAL

We’re so excited to launch the amazing Vagabond label at Melle Cloche this February!

As the only stockist in Scotland the Vagabond label will offer our brides a cool, sophisticated and elegant collection that she can be assured isn’t available anywhere else.

The Vagabond brand was founded in 2017, and the debut collection launched in 2018 with great success around the globe. Vagabond’s designer, Valery Zelenyuk, who lives in Cape Town with her husband and two sons, aims to embody the contemporary, strong and free-spirited woman that is becoming the pioneering female archetype in modern society.

The Vagabond bride wants to look beautiful but not at the expense of comfort and wearability, she doesn’t need to be afraid to look and feel strong, yet feminine in her wedding gown.

Each gown has an underlying timelessness in its silhouette, structure and fabric and of course Vagabond pride themselves on their quality – each piece is made individually by hand.

The collections will suit all contemporary tastes, including some classics with clean lines, bohemian gowns with textured lace and romantic shapes, as well as some daring rock n roll numbers.

Vagabond are a 100% female owned business, and have 100% female team - the business focuses strongly on female economic empowerment, ethical production practices and providing a balanced working environment for women in modern economic times.

Vagabond are part of the slow fashion movement, and practices minimal waste production methods. They manufacture each gown individually, and only on order, so have zero product waste, and a high degree of reusability, as the product is made to the highest quality - they encourage brides who are interested to resell their gowns so they can be enjoyed by more than one end user.

They only use eco silks, do not use any animal products, and are constantly focused on minimising environmental impact of packaging materials.

We think they’re pretty perfect and are so glad to have them at Melle Cloche - make an appoitnment today.
