A beautifully crafted contemporary piece made entirely from antique white cotton broderie anglaise fabric — the kind of material that simply cannot be replicated today. The all-over floral embroidery and eyelet work of the original antique fabric has been cut and constructed into a cropped bolero jacket with long sleeves, a round neckline, and a stunning scalloped broderie anglaise hem and cuffs that follow the original selvedge of the fabric.
This is slow fashion at its most considered: antique textile given a new form, a new life, and a new purpose. The maker's skill is evident in the way the scalloped edges have been used to finish the hem and cuffs — no raw edges, no waste, just a deep respect for the original material.
