The unique story behind your coat:

In a small North Holland village, Ilpendem, I met Marriane, who was selling her late mother's belongings. Among them were some charming blankets from the 1970s , that the old couple used by the fireplace during winter at their cottage next to their house space. As I chose two identical , I felt the warmth of their stories woven into its threads.

Now, as a jacket, it holds not only warmth, but the essence of being together, of sharing stories of happiness and tough times, proving that a lifetime of togetherness is something truly special. <3

The lining, a deadstock fabric, was the last piece found at a flea market in Amsterdam, with raw material costs around 115 euros.

Crafted by Katerina, who mended, and hand washed the blanket, designed the pattern, deconstructed, and cut the material. Sewn by Yasar in our partner’s atelier, and the button loops were hand-sewn by Katerina herself.

We hope you find this story intriguing and enriching. Wrap yourself in warmth and comfort around the clock as the raw fabric has a rich history of over 50 years.

Wear it with joy for years to come and then add your story to it and give it to your loved ones.

Love (and Flowers)

Styling Tip: The coat has a collar with a bow tie/small scarf around the neckline to give you more warmth. The coat is a large fit, so if you like oversized fits, it is best to layer turtlenecks or thin blouses underneath. Wear it with skirts or jeans and brightly coloured tights or socks.

From Upcycled Collection : The “Brown Orange” *wool blanket as raw material.

*100% wool blanket: “Not all wool can be called “pure new wool”. Only the directly processed, first shearing of healthy living sheep receives this name. Unlike regular wool, the fibers have a natural shine. Pure new wool is a wonderful product. Comfortable; on the one hand it maintains body temperature and on the other hand it is permeable to moisture. It regulates the ambient temperature. Environmentally friendly; it is biodegradable and it is a raw material that grows again in nature. Safe; it is flame retardant, antistatic and does not dry out. Durable; it lasts a long time while maintaining its appearance.”
