SPECIAL LAUNCH PRICE
THE ANDE BOMBER
This natural plant dyed, 8 wale, chunky corduroy bomber jacket has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and feel, as well as style and functionality.
Hand dyed using organically certified plant extracts, it has a contrasting coloured rib cuff, collar and waistband, and is fully lined in a luscious bamboo silk, making it feel beautiful to put on. The cheeky puff sleeves are cut with 2 shaped pieces for a more flattering and less bulky fit.
Designed for you to be able to go out without a bag, there are 2 comfortable front welt pockets for your hands and 2 large inside patch pockets for your belongings, which fasten with a neat little red corozo nut button.
Launching with 5 natural dyed colours (with contrasting rib) in 5 sizes.
COLOURS
The Ande Bomber comes in 5 colour combinations:
Dusky pink + yellow
Light indigo + sloe berry
Indigo blue + teal
Madder red + lilac
Caramel + light indigo
Understand that although carefully colour matched, there will be slight variations in colour between the photographs viewed on your screen and also between each jacket - the fabric lengths are hand dyed using natural dye pigments - making yours all the more unique. Each batch of plant extract can vary due to climatic conditions and soil, a difference in fabric fibres influence the final hue, as well as other variables.
This is slow considered fashion, not mass produced fast fashion or fast luxury. They are made with the health of you the wearer, of people and planet in mind.
