Step into the world of RP, a cutting-edge label out of London celebrating cultural heritage by redefining traditional narratives, with a particular emphasis on the concepts of visibility and liberation.
Our mantra? Versatility, functionality, and a dash of fearless experimentation.
The founder- Rafaela Pestritu, a Central Saint Martins alum, launched her brand as a response to conventional fashion norms and stereotypes. She uses clothing as a medium to address pressing environmental and political issues while simultaneously celebrating individuality.
Rafaela Pestritu is a fusion of Balkan storytelling and modern innovation, rooted in the contrast of resilience and glamour. It’s defined by its focus on creating illusions through techniques like trompe l’oeil, embroidery, patchwork, while giving new life to discarded materials through sustainable practices. With production based in London and Bucharest, my brand reflects a commitment to craftsmanship, cultural identity, and environmental responsibility. Each piece tells a story, blurring the line between heritage and contemporary design, and invites the wearer to engage with fashion as a meaningful form of self-expression.
With a mixture of one-of-a-kind pieces and a limited-quantity series, our garments are made out of deadstock materials, upcycled embroidery, recycled upholstery leather, and Refibra denim.
Our objective is to create a modern context for craft, reinterpreting traditional techniques and combining them with new technologies.
RP’s saga is one of transformation, empowerment, and relentless innovation, breaking free from the constraints of time and tradition to forge a distinct, liberated aesthetic.
