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 and sewn in a small studio in South Delhi. The silk is called 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.
