elegant jacket

Inspired by textiles from Thailand's Lisu Hill Tribes, Chattima fuses cultures in this elegant navy jacket. Made from a cotton and hemp blend the open jacket highlights Lisu Strips on the cuffs and front opening. This traditional textile is made by overlapping and folding thin strips of brightly colored fabric producing an applique patchwork that is applied to clothing. Chattima sympathetically combines this with hand stamped indigo fabric inserts on the cuff from the Hmong tribe and hand made silk rozettes on the placket. A single hand tied robe button finishes the neckline.

Shimmering shades of blue and cream cover this elegant scarf. Yuni Kristina recreates the parang raja. One of many traditional batik motifs, it symbolizes the ancient Javanese kingdom in general. She stamps the blue patterns in pure silk and adds the red blossoms with the batik motif.

Galuh Kenanga’s newest design assumes the shape of a mystic night on the Balinese island. Made to be a versatile jacket with a loose fit ideal for several styles, the garment combines midnight, cerulean, and imperial purple hues in its batik pattern. Three-quarter-length sleeves add a touch of avant-garde elegance, all made of lustrous rayon textiles.

Based on the traditional chapan garment worn in Uzbekistan during the cold winter days, this sublime cotton oversized coat arrives from distant lands to continue a legacy of high-quality creations. Artisan Abduvali ornaments the design with a glorious ikat pattern, whose blue, black and white hues are arranged in a geometric pattern reminiscent of a labyrinth where glamour and elegance merge.

Artisan crafted using soft alpaca fibers, this divine reversible hat from Peruvian artisan Wilfredo Herencia offers the ideal solution for keeping warm and comfortable. "Knitting is one of my great passions," says Wilfredo, "I share that passion with my team, the female knitters who work with me." Featuring a braided cable and ribbed pattern, the cap has a classic style; its cranberry and Prussian blue tones will add a touch of rich color to cold weather attire.
