Amber Artifact, hand-sculpted bolero

Amber Artifact: Bolero jacket in an array of tender hand-dyed snippets of linen and cotton. Amber, gold, rust, with highlights in robin's egg blue-green. I hand-built this by draping and sculpting each piece — there is no pattern. There will never be another jacket quite like this. Raw frayed trim, hand-stitched and freeform machine-stitched details. Pleated cuffs on the 3/4 length flared sleeves. Cotton twill tie front. Stripes! Asymmetric hem.

Shown with the Amber Artifact Skirt, sold separately.
