Brief Description:
Brand new exquisite garment purchased very recently. Unworn including all original tags and packaging. Unique handcrafted and special hand adapted Jacket piece - Virginia - from Isabella Stefanelli’s SS18 Season IV collection 'Break'. Handwoven exclusive 'D2 losanga' fabric with Laura de Cesare, weaver from Pisa, Tuscany. Custom pick stitch-ribatt-b hole. Garment consists of different texture on the front and on the reverse. This particular piece is hand dyed with Weld plant stems (bright yellow) and the colour is modified with iron powder staining the fibers darker. The selvedge of the fabric has a thicker cotton yarn sourced in Tuscany in lighter colour. Beautiful drape and definite unique outerwear piece.
Process:
Fabric composed of a mixture of 3 yarns:
1) 100% Italian linen (all weft)
2) Fine Italian yarns composed of a special twist of linen and mohair. This makes the horizontal darker tone random stripes, hence reflecting the season theme of "Break", symbolising the lightness in amongst a moment of change.
3) Twisted yarn linen and cotton (warp)
Measurements:
Size 2 corresponds to either a small or a medium depending on desired fit. This garment fits relaxed with unique relaxed body construction and stitching on sleeves. Intended for both male or female.
Length: 30 inch or 77cm
Width (Pit to pit) : 27 inch or 68 cm
Shoulder: Free flowing
*Sleeve Length will differ depending on height. A regular wearer of a size Small will have the sleeves falling regular. A medium wearer of height approximating 5 ft 11 (179cm) will have the sleeves falling slightly shorter than usual besides the wrist bone - when pairing with a shirt If you wish for the cuff to be exposed then this piece can also be worn on a usual size medium. Either way the body and drape will be consistent.
I have included images of both male and female and images of myself. For reference I am 178 cm. It works lovely for most builds.
Price:
Originally purchased for £3000. I will be happy to sell, albeit at a considerable loss, for $2000 including express shipping, fully tracked. For valuation, gift marking or any other special shipping instructions please do not hesitate to contact me. I'll be happy to help.
