The unique story behind your coat:

“I bought this rare find online from Mr C. in a small Dutch town called Hilversum. Mr C. collects and sells old or second-hand books.

(I do not know the exact history of the blanket, but I imagine him as an amateur writer, with this beautiful red blanket as a cosy companion through late night writing sessions, witnessing the birth of stories and characters. )

Now, transformed into a jacket, it carries the whispers of literary inspiration, making each one a wearable chapter of the writer's imagination. Raw material cost around 90 - 107 € including Buttons and Lining.

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)

From Upcycled Collection : The “DAHLIA” *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.”
