'hidden between the bark and the tree' ultra detailed artisanal jacket
This piece of fiber art calls to mind the lines and grooves of a big tree trunk, each of those telling its own story, in subdued, deep colors of nature. There are so many details to discover, like tiny 3D silk organza roses appliquéd in several places - you can barely see them, but finding them will be pure fun! The jacket is made out of brushed organic cotton with lots of fold lines and layers of individually distressed and painted pieces appliquéd throughout. Light to medium weight, it can be worn with dressy or casual outfits with equal ease, throughout the year. One button closure has a beautiful vintage button from the artist's collection that is painted to match the jacket. There is a detailed pocket, of course, and lots of distressing throughout. The sleeves are made out thinner cotton with stretch to assure better fit and comfort. Product code: K9187

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.
