Repurposed military jackets combined with up-cycled handwoven Güipel. Each Güipel is carefully woven by hand and can take up to 6 months for the artisan to create.
The process begins with cleaning and spinning the cotton, dying the fibers with fruits or vegetables and finally transferred to a backstop loom. Thread by thread these beautiful pieces are created. Each Güipel can make 2 jackets. There will only be 2 ever created with that exact pattern as no 2 Güipel can ever be created exactly the same.
The jackets have raw edges and have been worn to perfection. Because Güipel is handmade and up-cycled you will notice tiny “flaws.” We celebrate these tiny imperfections as they are what makes each piece truly unique.
Handmade with love by the worlds finest artisan
