hand-textured embroidered lambskin leather black dress or vest

This style of leather texturing is unique to the artist and is among her top recognizable looks. The painstaking process of embroidering leather to give it this amazing 3D texture is very complex and requires special tools and equipment, but the final result is worth every minute spent on the creation. The lambskin leather can be wiped down with water if necessary, it is durable and has a wonderful drape. This piece features full top to bottom button closure, and can be worn by itself as a dress or as a long vest over all kinds of options, from dresses to pencil skirts and pants, with or without sleeves underneath. Medium weight is perfect for fall. Sides in this one have stretchy viscose knit inserts to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit. Product code: Q9784

Spot clean with water, or 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.
