The Case for One
On single-piece runs, archive releases, and refusing to re-cut a sold-out bridal.

When a bridal piece sells, we retire the pattern. The reason is not scarcity marketing — it is that the karigar who worked it has moved to the next commission, and a second attempt by another hand is a different garment wearing the same name.
The archive releases you see in the Sale Edit are the remainder of those runs: samples, colour trials, and pieces whose warp was discontinued mid-season.
There is no restock. There is a waitlist for the next chapter, which is a different thing and we will not pretend otherwise.
