The unique story behind your coat:
This beautiful one tone light apricot color vinatge blanket, made in France, arrived at our studio on September 27, 2024, from Ms. Lieve’s cozy home in Borgerhout, Antwerp, Belgium.(same owner as our Mint Coat)
After a careful wash, work began between October 24 and 26, 2024, transforming the blanket into this one-of-a-kind jacket during 27th. Final touches, including the attachment of vintage buttons, were completed by November 4, 2024, with a small photoshoot capturing its flow and beauty.
Now, this jacket carries around 20+ years of warmth and creativity. Crafted by Katerina, who hand-mended, designed, and cut the blanket, and sewed the jacket button holes are added by Yasar in our partner atelier. Katerina personally hand-sewed the buttons, finishing the piece with precision and care.
This jacket is a wearable work of art, crafted to stand out with its originality and built to last. It's the result of skilled hands and thoughtful craftsmanship. Wear it with pride and joy, knowing it’s made to be cherished and one day, passed on as a true treasure.
