Structured Fully lined Peplum Jacket with laced centre front panel detail. Fully functional zips on both sides and removable centre front panel.

Get A little intimate with me ! Another Exclusive offer !
As we showcased The “Nostalgic Nuances” Collection at the end of last year, we allowed ourselves to stupidly forget just how great and special it was.
Almost every collection I have ever designed and made, I’ve received comments about the dark and mysterious elements within them.
The incredible and unexpected split personality that is present and the very “Ratavosi” style they each have.
So in order to bring it back to life again and because I adore you all ( my subscribers) so much, I am sharing with you another Sneak Peak from my Ratavosi Ready-to-wear Collection.
Both Briefs are vintage styled high waist briefs. Both are Suitable for swimming depending on how daring you are 
The Black one on the left is “Madame Lola”. Only available in Black with Contrast Lace insert panels.
The Vintage Tea Stained Brief is the “Nostalgia Brief”. (black bow is a styling item, not included) Mesh insert side panels with stretch lace trim insert.
So Spoil a Loved one or even Spoil yourself ?
These Items are unique and exclusive, you are guaranteed very few people will have it !

Minimum Quantities.

#DarkandDeadlyyetabsolutelyamazing.
Today I’m going to share with you guys another one of my loves.
Another very exclusive piece.
The softest leather you would have EVER felt ! Absolute Quality material for an absolute quality garment.
A hot and sexy structured silhouette.
A flat double layered Peplum.
High Neck and Cap sleeves.
Fully lined upper with a very Victorian-style printed lining.
Centre front panel fully corseted.
Unzip the corsetry all off and wear it as a vest.
You can even have it one side zipped up,one side halfway and turn over the neck for a trench-like look
or have it up as is in the picture for a sleek look that will turn heads.
This beautiful, and very exclusive jacket is actually part of My Ratavosi Label’s Nostalgic Nuances Collection.
So Dark, so mysterious… J’adore ca ! …haha I guess that’s why I designed it and Made it with love ❤
Let me know what you think !?

Hey everyone !! So I know I’ve been a naughty blogger lately but believe it or not I have actually been working my toosh off at College for my latest collection “Nostalgic Nuances” by Ratavosi.
I’m happy to say that I had my final marking in front of the panel last Tuesday and I finally have a nice bachelor degree under my belt ! hoora hoora ! I cannot wait to share the collection with you all however, I’ve decided to delay the release of photo’s and make you all wait in suspense for “Nostalgic Nuances” RTW SS/13 to be released this November/December.
In the mean time, Here is a little video Teaser that should fill your imagination with plenty of curiosities until the release…
oh and yes we did the shoot at a cemetery 
oooo spoookky ! I told you guys it’s going to be a BLACK summer didn’t I ?
p.s I know the video quality ain’t that great but that’s the whole point 🙂
Before I end this post and leave you all to watch the above – I would just like to thank my beautiful crew for always lending me the extra hands I’ve needed !
Love you all and appreciate everything you’ve done. We did amazing !
xxxx Much Love, Yours Truly

Hey everyone !!!
I’m actually on a crazy little hype right now – (doesn’t quite help that I should really be trying sleep as I have to wake at 5am for college but besides that … hii !!! ) ha-ha
I’ve had a great day actually, and you’ll never guess what I’ve been up to ( P.S I’m sure when people ask you what you did today your answer is nothing like this…)
… I visited cemeteries (not because someone passed on – trust me I wouldn’t be this happy), trying to get the subtle graveyard/gothic vibes for some photo-shoot ideas for Spring/Summer 2013.
see… I told you ( now everyone is probably thinking weeiirddooo !)
…though I must say it was successful ! After viewing so many of them I have the greatest LOCATION EVAA !!! But that parts a secret. What isn’t a secret is the fact that I’m almost half way there. The sampling will soon come to an end – another week should do it – the fabrics and experimenting are all done and what will soon be left is the final capsule collection to be completed. Every morning I wake up and my rolls of pretty pure silk and leather skins shine at me from my work room.
If you haven’t gotten the story yet, I’ve shared with you a mood board that symbolises the elements present within not only my collection but the direction I want to take for the photo-shoot too.
It’s going to be a beige and black summer baby !
xxxx Much love, Yours Truly
