A cropped jacket made from cotton cloth that artisans in Na Nhang, a village in northern Laos, hand-spin, hand-weave and dye by hand. The process takes more than six months from start to finish. The cotton and dye plants are grown using traditional natural farming, and the dyes come from the surrounding forest, so the cloth’s colours recall the land it was grown on. Fine naturally dyed threads are woven in to form a subtle pattern, and the fabric has a dry, textured, earthy hand. Because each piece is handmade, the colour and weave vary from jacket to jacket. Inside, it has denim-jacket-style lining, triple chain stitching like vintage jeans, and a waist pocket with a raw, cut-off edge.
