Its detailed story

“Country Chic”: the vintage countryside codes of the 1980s in the USA, blended with references to Native American patterns, merge with the sophistication of a very modern and versatile pattern.

When I stumbled upon this huge jacket (size 54!), I found it so kitschy that for me, it had exhausted the topic and transcended it. I challenged myself to extract its essence and make it as modern as possible.
The Welkin pattern from Lavender & Twine didn't convince me when it was released; all the interpretations I had seen were too “precious”, “stuffy”, even “saccharine”. I wanted something different. The idea of combining it with the vintage jacket didn't come to me right away, but once it was there, it became obvious.

Like in cooking, I “deconstructed” the jacket to combine all its components in a new form, adding an as-new thrifted cotton sheet and luxury brass-colored hardware.

I'm glad I overcame my reluctance because the alliance is very successful: a bag that is both soft and strong, both visually and tactilely. I loved taking many constituent elements as they were and distilling them: the decorative ribbon from the lining into a handle, the brand label inside the lining, the zipper...
But above all, a very versatile bag with its multiple carrying possibilities, comfortable volume, and internal storage.
