Embroidered military shirts, taken apart and rebuilt into a generous shoulder bag: this COTE MER piece turns vintage material into a modern everyday carry. Handmade in the atelier's own workshop, it is one of a kind.
The Piece
COTE MER draws out the charm of materials that carry history and transforms them into modern pieces. Here embroidered military shirts have been dismantled and reconstructed into a large cotton bag that wears as easily with streetwear as with a sportier look.
Mindful of the environment, the atelier uses even small fabric remnants to make the most of every material, creating work that is both sustainable and stylish. Each piece is handmade in COTE MER's own workshop, making it truly one of a kind, for those who prefer not to blend in.
