The Story Behind Your Jacket
This stunning two-sided sleeping bag blanket found its way to our collection in 2022. After a careful wash, the transformation began on January 30th and 31th2025, with design, cutting, and pocket placement. Yasa later assisted with finishing the trims on the reverse side. Final touches, including vintage buttons, were completed by February 19th, followed by a photoshoot.
Now, this jacket carries over 40+ years of warmth and creativity. Designed and crafted by Katerina, with trims thoughtfully incorporated by Yasar in our partner atelier, every button was hand-sewn to ensure a perfect finish.
More than just clothing, this is a wearable piece of art—built to last, designed to stand out, and meant to be cherished for years to come.
How It’s Made
Each piece takes over 15 hours to create, involving:
• Handcrafted from Start to Finish: Every step from fabric preparation, washing and cutting to sewing and hand-finishing—requires time, skill, and attention to detail.
• Preserving the Original Elements: The blanket’s original zipper, trims, and unique texture are thoughtfully incorporated into the design.
• No Two Are Alike: The nature of vintage materials means every jacket has its own variations, making each one truly unique.
At Fitol Collections, we celebrate sustainability by giving forgotten textiles a new life. Slight imperfections in the material reflect its history and unique charm. If you value craftsmanship and authenticity, this coat is made for you. Learn more about our pricing philosophy [here]
