'dried flowers budding on bark' fully hand-textured art jacket
This unbelievably detailed jacket has been textured by hand, embroidery style, throughout the entire body, giving it a 3D look and feel and a true couture appearance. The hand-painted color variations have a slight distressing to them, achieved through multiple processes of painting and re-painting. The overall feel reminds one of the bark of an exotic tree, while the several rosettes made out of the matching fabric and texture are like flowers that are alive and dried at the same time. The funky pocket in back is meant as a casual contrast to the more dressy front, an artistic contradiction in terms, if you will - if you would rather have a dressier overall feel, it can be removed upon request at no extra charge. Made out of long staple Egyptian cotton with some silk for overlay, it is a true piece of art to treasure, lightweight, non-wrinkling and easy-care. Meant as an open jacket, it can have a closure put in, depending on your size (shown in some of the pictures at the maximum closure range for a fitted look). Product code: N6274

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
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.
