CAPE VEST „ITALIA GRANDE”

4380,00 kr

A short, oversized cape with a batwing cut in deep black, featuring distinctive accents in the colors of the Italian flag – green, white, and red – placed in several spots. On the back, a large contrasting ITALIA inscription adds a bold character to the design. The look is completed with an oversized turtleneck in a black-and-white check pattern. The turtleneck can be worn in two ways – loosely draped to reveal the inner side in inverted colors, or folded inward to shorten its length.

The cape is made entirely from pieces of wool garments sourced from the second-hand market. This oversized vest works perfectly in layered autumn–winter looks, but can also be worn on its own – the open sleeves subtly reveal the body. This patchwork turtleneck cape is a one-of-a-kind piece, composed of fragments of wool fabrics with varying textures and thicknesses. Partly felted wool elements were used in its construction, making it exceptionally warm. The cape can be worn inside out, with exposed seams – for this reason, the labels are sewn in a way that allows them to be easily removed.

For our designs, we use wool fabric pieces recovered from partially damaged garments that are no longer wearable in their original form. We only reclaim fragments of wool that meet our quality standards. However, they may feature natural imperfections that reflect their second life.

The model in the photo is 172 cm tall. Thanks to its generous cut, the cape fits sizes from XS (very oversized) to L (slightly oversized).

Length (shoulder to bottom edge): 57 cm
Width at bottom: 67 cm
Body width: 72 cm
Total body width (including the finished edges of the open sleeves): 80 cm

We use only garments made of 100% wool as our raw material. Some second-hand clothing from which we recover fabrics no longer carries original composition labels, but thanks to our experience, we carefully select only pure, natural wool for each piece we create.

The garments from which we recovered wool fragments were washed with gentle detergents. The finished product was additionally treated with ozone to ensure hygienic cleanliness. For this reason, there is no need to wash Fragmented clothing before the first wear.

Thanks to its natural properties, wool is resistant to dirt, odors, and bacterial growth. Therefore, we encourage reducing the frequency of washing wool garments in favor of airing them out, which prolongs the durability of the material and supports environmental care.

Our products can also be refreshed with steam. We recommend steaming a single layer of the garment. When steaming the sleeves, you can insert a cotton cloth or t-shirt inside to prevent seam impressions.
