Each shearling piece was mindfully reduced and sewn through palm, leading to a lively and also resilient pattern.
‘I have to say that Yves Salomon is incredibly reserved, but they are actually known to become the best on earth at this technique. Therefore, I was actually actually positive when they informed me they desired to use it for our partnership,’ explains Zoran Chapo.Zoran Chapo (left), Yves Salomon (appropriate)|image thanks to Maison & Objet A New Lifestyle for Leftovers: Upcycled Materials Meet Iconic Concepts The collaborative compilation is brought to life using upcycled materials, featuring discarded textiles, shearling, and leather fragments that were actually or else looked at unacceptable for various other jobs. ‘Our team have to recognize that when we make a garment, it should be best.
