Regia Bib-Top

REGIA holds the line.

Cut in structured dupioni, it sits with intention — defined, grounded, and exact in how it frames the body. It doesn’t adapt. It defines it.

One side carries the focus.

A stunning continuous embellishment is built entirely by hand in the atelier, using offcuts of tulle, velvet, sequins and lamé. Each element is placed with control, creating density, contrast, volume and a surface that feels constructed rather than applied.

No two pieces are the same.

At its core are Mexican artisanal patches, designed and made specially for this collection by artisans in Zinacantán, Chiapas. I prepare them in my atelier and integrate them into each vest, adding beads and buttons to build a composition that holds weight — visually and physically.

This is where my herencia lives. Not as reference. As a method.

Open at the sides and secured with ties at the waist, REGIA allows the body to move while maintaining its structure. It doesn’t soften. It doesn’t disappear.

This is not a supporting piece.

It sets the tone before anything else is seen.

REGIA is worn with certainty — when presence is not something you negotiate, but something you claim.

At Fernanda Covarrubias, we don’t mass produce — we create each piece with care, and many of my designs are available on preorder for a limited time only.

🛍️ What does "preorder" mean?

Preordering means you’re securing a piece that’s not yet made.
It gives you access to special launch pricing and ensures your garment is crafted especially for you — not pulled from a rack.

💫 Here’s how it works:

1. You get 10% off during the preorder window
Each piece is available at 10% off for 7 days only.
After that, the price returns to full retail.
No code needed — the discount is already applied during those days.

2. Your piece is made just for you
All my garments are handcrafted with care in Melbourne.
Please allow 4–6 weeks for production, depending on fabric and details.

3. We ship worldwide — for free
Once your order is ready, We’ll email you with a tracking number.
We ship via Australia Post, and yes — international shipping is free.
👗 What if it doesn’t fit?

For standard size preorders ( without any custom adjustments ) I offer exchanges or can make fit adjustments if needed.
And in rare cases, if the piece doesn't spark you to you, I do accept returns — as long as the piece is unworn, unwashed, and in perfect condition.

For custom or made-to-measure pieces, I don’t offer returns or exchanges — since they’re created just for you.
But I’m always happy to make any fit tweaks needed to ensure it feels perfect.
