COTE MER Hand-Bleached Vintage Levi's Jacket with Kyoto Nishiki-Ori Kimono Back, Yellow Dye, Size XL

Kyoto kimono silk, applied to the back and sleeves of a denim jacket that COTE MER has bleached by hand. Workwear texture and nishiki-ori brocade meet in a one-of-one piece that moves from street to mode with ease.

The Piece

This jacket belongs to a small group of COTE MER pieces the atelier regards among its best-looking kimono work: a vintage Levi's denim jacket bleached by hand, then decorated on the back and sleeves with kimono fabric imported from Kyoto. The cloth is nishiki-ori (錦織), Kyoto's patterned silk brocade, chosen as a symbol of Japan.

It can be dressed for the street or in a more fashion-led mode. Each jacket is handmade in the house's own factory, so this one exists only once, for those who want their clothing to show their individuality.
