//Now in a longer version for our taller friends and those who just feel cozier with added length.//
This ready-to-ship Aiko Jacket is crafted from naturally-dyed, handwoven textiles by our partner weavers at Lake Atitlán. Named after Mari's mother, Aiko, who kindly helped us develop the Japanese-inspired base pattern, this piece features an asymmetrical ikat fabric designed by Sedona Rigsby. What an embodiment of our collaborative spirit! The result is a cozy, medium-weight cotton jacket that’s perfect for layering, with generous pockets for added convenience.
$10 donated per jacket sale to Friendship Bridge, chosen by Aiko, since she was so kind to share this pattern with us. The organization works to create opportunities for rural indigenous women in Guatemala through microlending.
The pattern does not have defined shoulder lines, allowing for a versatile fit for body shapes small to large. Close it with a pin if you'd like, or just leave it open for a haori-like wear. The sleeves are 3/4 length.
Including a mending kit with each jacket, in-line with this piece's Japanese influence! With a few different textile squares (including the same textile as the jacket) and naturally-dyed cotton threads, we hope for these jackets to be loved and used for years to come, as well as mended if needed in the future. When done with care and love, we believe that mending makes garments increasingly beautiful.
