Cropped and close-cut, this bolero is an exploration of leather as a "second skin." Engineered from supple Italian nappa, the garment is buttery-soft with a natural drape that defies the typical rigidity of the material. Designed to sit precisely above the waist, it features elongated sleeves and a minimalist neckline, offering a sharp yet weightless layer.
Fabric & Feel
Exterior: 100% Italian Nappa Leather.
Lining: 100% Silk.
Handle: Exceptionally soft with a fine, smooth grain. The silk lining ensures the garment glides over the skin or base layers.
Texture: Matte and sophisticated; the leather is selected for its ability to mold to the wearer’s form over time.
Construction & Craft
Architecture: A cropped silhouette with an emphasis on a streamlined, close-to-body fit.
The Sleeve: Elongated and slim, designed to stack slightly at the wrist or extend the line of the arm.
Interior: Fully lined in silk to provide a luxurious finish and maintain the garment's fluid, weightless feel.
Fit & Wear
Silhouette: Second-skin fit, cropped to accentuate the high-waist line of the collection's trousers and skirts.
Evolution: Natural creasing and softening are intended and encouraged, allowing the piece to record the unique movements of the wearer.
Care
Maintenance: Specialist leather clean only.
Storage: Store in a breathable garment bag, away from direct sunlight to prevent the nappa from drying or fading.
Handling: Avoid contact with oil-based substances or perfumes which can stain the porous natural grain.
A Note on Material: This garment is constructed from limited-run leather, sourced from existing archival stocks of French and Italian luxury fashion houses. Due to the nature of these reclaimed hides, the scale of the croc grain is unique to each piece.
