🎵 RIFF REPORT: MELANCHOLY 🎵

The Story Behind The Riff

Before we ever picked a stitch or draped a dress, we sat down at the table. Muted carnations, heavy air, the kind of quiet that fills the room after loss—and somehow also after love.We were listening to Japanese Breakfast, to Jubilee spinning in low light. Then Orlando in Love pulled us toward the sea.
Salt, sirens, rocky cliffs, a shell held up to your ear. Lace handkerchiefs tucked into vinyl sleeves. Celestial cutouts in paper that felt like maps back to somewhere sacred.

It wasn’t just melancholy—it was a remembering. And a reaching. It was fruit falling heavy from the branch. It was the ocean never letting go.

Memory Dressing

This riff isn’t about fashion for fashion’s sake. It’s about memories stitched into fabric.It’s for the dreamers who set the table even when no one's coming.

For the ones who hear the ocean in their sleep.For the ones who know that grief and sweetness grow on the same tree.At Riff Haus, we don't just design garments—we catch feelings and sew them into reality. Zero waste. Maximum emotion.

AI helped us dream of tablecloths unraveling into constellations, lace whispering across tidepools, and persimmons soft enough to bruise if you looked too hard.
