”This shacket is uniquely made entirely from the best parts of a large, vintage, linen damask cloth with a rose and lattice pattern. With cutting around the damaged areas, and overdying to black to mask uneven colour, making a garment was the obvious way to honour this gorgeous woven textile.” - Lisa

Techniques
Salvage - collecting, appraising, cleaning, repairing, and/or cutting damaged vintage textiles, to respectfully keep them in use.
Overdyeing - adding permanent colour to a fabric which may be stained or discoloured but otherwise in good condition.
Designed, cut, and sewn in Dublin as a one-off piece.
Use & Care
Washing is tough on clothing, so wash only when necessary. That being said, this shacket is gently machine washable! Please wash on a gently cycle at 30°, on its own or with similar colours, and air dry. It can be ironed or steamed.
