//A new cropped version of our favorite jacket!//
This ready-to-ship Aiko Jacket is crafted from a pre-loved traditional corte (wrap skirt) and newly-woven indigo-dyed cotton fabric for the collar. We love the striking ikat patterns and the intentional placement of the randa embroidery on the sleeves and back. What a gem!
Named after Mari's mother, Aiko, who kindly helped us develop the Japanese-inspired base pattern.
For every jacket sold, we donate $10 to Friendship Bridge, an organization chosen by Aiko that works to create opportunities for rural Indigenous women in Guatemala through education and microloans.
The jacket’s relaxed fit, with no defined shoulder lines, makes it suitable for a range of body shapes from small to medium. Wear it open for a haori-like style or pin it closed for a more structured look.
Each jacket includes a mending kit, in keeping with the jacket's Japanese spirit. The kit features naturally-dyed threads and textile squares, including the same fabric as the jacket, encouraging thoughtful repair. We believe that mending garments with care adds to their beauty over time.
