Several kimono, rich in embroidery, are joined with leather in this COTE MER riders blouson. The house carries the heritage of Japanese textiles into a garment for contemporary streets, handmade in its own workshop as a single, unrepeatable XL example.
The Piece
COTE MER builds this riders jacket from kimono, the garment that most clearly symbolizes Japan, using multiple pieces with many embroidered passages. The current title also names obi textile, wagara pattern, boro-style patchwork and leather among its materials.
The atelier's aim is to draw out the charm of traditional materials that carry a sense of Japan's history and to give them new life as modern clothing. Even small scraps are used, so that each textile is valued in full, in keeping with the house's SDGs-conscious practice.
The jacket wears well in both street and sporty styles. Handmade piece by piece in COTE MER's own workshop, it is the only one in the world.
