Karley Ikat-Print Nappa Leather Blazer

Inspired by our longer Karly coat, the Karley blazer undergoes a series of artisanal treatments to achieve its distinctive finish. First, strips of nappa leather are cut by hand to create a vented pattern. Next, the leather exterior is joined with a printed silk gauze lining and stitched around the handmade cuts, creating a very unique and ethereal look. It's printed with the season's ikat-inspired motif and features a shawl lapel and a belted waist. Prints and patterns from this season's collection are inspired by designs traditional to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and cultures throughout Asia. The interwoven global history of ikat techniques – from as early as the 10th century – holds cherished historical symbolism and varied origins across cultures in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
