Jacket Kapou II

€389.00

Kapou (Assamese) - dove

For this jacket we use a thick eri silk fabric for a special structure and warmth. This jacket is hand-spun and hand-woven by our team in Assam and sewn in our studio in Ladakh. The silk is called eri silk and cultivated by Assamese tribal communities South West of Guwahati. It is a wild silk and the moth leaves a hole in the cocoon as it has to be empty before it can be processed. Therefore it has a structure which is rather similar to linen. No chemicals or pesticides have been used during the process.
The jacket has a relaxed fit which can be adjusted to fit women of size S and M, in the size S/M as well as the size L/XL, constructed for women wearing L or XL.
The model wears size S/M. The jacket comes with a loose belt which can be casually worn with the jacket. The finishing is entirely with French seams as well as blind stitch. At the front it can be closed with a shell button. It has no belt loops.  
So comfortable, classic and made for every body type. Size L/XL is ready to be dispatched in CW 46.

Please note: This product is entirely made by hand. Therefore, irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. The fabric and the dye will change over time - the silk is becoming softer and the dyes lighter.  Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
