Welcome to DLFN

DLFN is a small-batch slow fashion label founded and handmade by Delfien, after corporate hours and from the heart. Each piece is designed, cut, and handmade in Belgium using carefully sourced deadstock designer fabrics — luxurious materials rescued from waste and reimagined into limited-edition clothing.

What began as a personal sewing journey at age 16 evolved into a passion project born from life’s pauses — from health challenges to motherhood to a career in the corporate beauty world.

DLFN is built on intention, slowness, and purpose.

Every drop features one timeless design, reinterpreted in a selection of rare fabrics — no mass production, no restocks, no rush.

This is slow fashion made at human speed, for people who value uniqueness, quality, and story-driven style. Without deadlines.

CHPTR V - The Maxi Open Back Dress

Two years ago, this design sparked my return to sewing . It’s taken time, trial, and a whole lot of patience to perfect the pattern and bring it to life just the way I imagined.

Each piece is handmade using carefully sourced designer deadstock fabric — a collection of striped textiles I spent over 8 months tracking down to find just the right balance of texture, color, and movement.

Whether you're off on a summer escape, heading to a party, or simply want to feel confident and beautiful in your own skin, this dress is made for that kind of moment.

Available in three unique designs, each one made to be cherished.

CHPTR IV - The Maxi Dress & Top

One design. Two styles. Three exclusive fabrics.

CHPTR IV introduces a timeless silhouette interpreted as both a maxi dress and an elegant top, crafted in three carefully selected deadstock designer fabrics. This limited drop is a celebration of slow fashion — made in Belgium, in small batches, and with intention.

Both pieces are designed in a taille unique pattern to flatter and fit comfortably across sizes XS to L, thanks to a relaxed yet structured cut. The dress features hidden pockets and delicate gathers that drape beautifully around the neck, offering movement, ease, and understated elegance.

Whether you're attending a wedding, a summer garden party, heading on holiday, or styling it under a blazer for a refined office look, CHPTR IV is made to move with you — from day to night, casual to chic.

Each fabric tells its own story. Each piece is handmade to last.
