UMA JACKET

UMA JACKET – Bengali Tradition Meets Modern Slow Fashion
 
With the Uma Jacket, the time-honoured artistry of Bengal is transformed into contemporary sustainable fashion. This piece pulses with brightness and vitality whilst championing sustainable fashion philosophy, creating an essential statement for those who treasure slow fashion.
 
Kantha fabric originates from Bengal, where, for centuries, women have layered together old saris and cloth, securing them with rows of simple running stitches to create light quilts, shawls, and garments. The word ‘kantha’ itself refers to this distinctive stitching: a form of embroidery that transforms worn textiles into something new, practical and beautiful. 
 
The Uma Jacket is a modern take on Bengali Kantha, made from repurposed fabric. The jacket was handmade in the U.K. 
 
The Uma Jacket emerges as a canvas of stories, where each carefully placed stitch becomes a verse in Bengal's continuing textile narrative, honouring slow fashion ideals. This jacket elevates your wardrobe whilst championing sustainable practices.
