This pure cotton jacket was designed around the central patch - up-cycled from a dress.
The jacket is created and constructed entirely with the idea of sustainability in mind; the white and lime green up-cycled from an old Kasavu saree.
The bright orange is scrap from another dress, and the jacket is lined in orange fabric to dull down the whites and add a warm tint.

This pure wool jacket was designed around the constraints of a second hand skirt. The fabric is a beautiful vintage jacquard with large pockets.
As the rest of this series, this jacket was designed with the ideals of minimal waste - the pockets were kept as is on the front panels and repurposed into the sleeves. The lining was created out of a thick linen from a lime green kurti.
