SLEEVE LEATHER CORNICE

CONCEPT

WHY
Everything I do I believe that I challenge the status quo. I believe in thinking differently.
My purpose is to make people creative and confident through my contemporary design.

HOW
I’m fascinated by the juxtaposition of
tradition & modernity, abstraction & geometry, light & shadows.
The open space cut and attention to construction with authentic craftsmanship.
Texture is characterized by intricate hand knitted textiles of linen and leather. Which in turn are united to create a silhouette of modern fluidity.
WHAT
Inspired by the traditional kimono I have created a piece that combines the utilities of scarf-poncho and coat.

DESCRIPTION
Assymetry kimono shape made by Japanese linen and perforated pig skin. Leather is assembled with thick linen yarn by hand, this item has more details that it seems. Raw cut and unfinished edges with a wabi sabi quality and attention to construction and authentic craftsmanship.
This extra long garment can change the way you wear it according to your needs.
Two metal riri black zips in the sleeves that can open and wrap around the body as poncho or scarf in the cold days. Or keep it wide open for a more dramatic look.
