ZORBS by ZORA

Dresses have been embroidered with the elytra of the golden beetle since the beginning of the 19th century. The pointed green plates of the shells were brought from India in huge quantities.

The elytra were pierced with a heated needle. The plates themselves are quite strong, but at the same time they can be cut into shape.

That's fascinating! 🌟 The meticulous process shows the careful craftsmanship behind it. Strong yet flexible—what a perfect balance! Can't wait to see the final creation. ✂️👏

Beetle elytra are similar to modern plastic materials
