'branched out and rooted' conceptual jacket with applique

A most unusual jacket in its concept and combinations of everything - from color to design. It is made out of thinner leather for the body, while the arms, having the same look and feel, are made out of fabric material which has a bit of stretch and is much more comfortable than leather would be (the artist is always aware of the comfort of the wearer in all her designs). The jacket has been painted in slightly iridescent bold colors reminiscent of a dragonfly, while the rest of the colors 'imitate' the environment of trees, leaves, flowers... The idea is further enhanced by root and branch-shaped appliqué throughout, and the collar, which is different, softer leather, has the ripples and colors of a tree trunk. The artist definitely developed an idea here of trees and their environment, which she is drawn to in many of her designs and art. Product code: F5824

Wipe clean, partially washable, or mild dry clean.

All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.

Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.

To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.

All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.

Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.

Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.

For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
