Handwoven Embroidered Coat

Absolutely stunning one-of-a-kind kimono-inspired coat with large patch pockets & soft shawl collar. The embroidered motifs are beyond exquisite.  Rich handwoven texture and beautiful wabi-sabi details throughout, including hand sewn hem. This lightweight coat is perfect on its own or worn layered.  

Made with vintage textiles from Ghana. This beautiful fabric was handwoven in small strips that were then sewn together to create a sarong-like cloth before being dyed. The whole process took weeks, even longer when you consider that they often grew the cotton and indigo! Imperfections, distressed patterns, small holes or stains are common features of this beautiful and storied fabric.
