About The Entry

REBIRTH The Living Leather Jacket

REBIRTH is a modular leather jacket designed to evolve with its wearer over time. Inspired by transformation, resilience, and emotional longevity, the piece challenges the fast-fashion cycle by creating a garment intended to be repaired, reconfigured, and treasured rather than replaced.

The sculpted silhouette combines structured corsetry with handwoven leather lattice sleeves, balancing strength and fluidity. Detachable modular components allow the jacket to shift in form and expression, symbolizing personal growth and reinvention through every stage of life.

Sustainability is embedded into the foundation of the design. Crafted from responsibly sourced leather and durable materials, REBIRTH promotes longevity, adaptability, and conscious consumption. The modular sleeve system allows individual components to be repaired or replaced without discarding the entire garment, extending the product’s lifecycle and reducing waste. By prioritizing craftsmanship, timeless construction, and emotional durability, the jacket encourages a deeper and longer-lasting relationship between wearer and garment.

Deep oceanic blue tones and embossed woven textures draw inspiration from water, stillness, and renewal reflecting the quiet power of transformation.

More than a garment, REBIRTH is wearable armor: a statement on identity, sustainability, adaptability, and timeless design.
