Key Features

  • Tailored sleeveless waistcoat

Material

Ikat fabric is created by dyeing individual threads before weaving, resulting in characteristic feathered patterns that are integral to the weave rather than printed on the surface.

Care Instructions

Silk ikat requires special care: hand-wash in cold water (max 20 °C) with pH-neutral silk detergent, avoid wringing or scrubbing, and dry flat away from direct sunlight to preserve the weave and dyes.

Craftsmanship

A fully lined waistcoat improves structure, comfort, and durability, and contributes to a more professional finish.

Unique Features

Structured fabrics like wool blends, tweed, or medium-weight gabardine help a waistcoat hold its shape and give a sharp silhouette, while lighter fabrics like cotton or linen offer a softer, more relaxed drape.

How I am sustainable

I'm not made from virgin fabrics and dyes, so my carbon footprint, pollution and water usage is way lower than other products. Instead, I'm made with circular production methods, from waste fabric which already existed. I turned into an I was a Sari instead of becoming landfill. Now I'm looking forward to my second life, maybe with you.
