Leather Ankh, Ankara print Mama Africa, jean jacket  –  dark blue Plus size 16

Introducing a handcrafted One-Of-A-Kind upcycled jean jacket, a stunning embodiment of Afro-inspired fashion and African-influenced attire.

Meticulously crafted with care and creativity. This unique jacket features a Genuine Leather stylized Ankh appliqué. The Ankh or key of life is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol used to represent the word for “life”.

The upcycle of this thrifted jacket includes under-sleeve and side seam insets of an Ankara print fabric with the words Mama Africa in the print. The insets add wearing ease to the original manufactured size L/G and the insets are lined for comfort. The Ankara print adds an unmistakable touch of Afrocentric style to an iconic American Classic – the denim jacket.

With its Asymmetrical Front metal 2-way zipper closure, decorative zipper waistband, and grosgrain ribbon trim this jacket exudes Afro-modern fashion while maintaining a classic edge.

Elevate your everyday wardrobe. Included with the jacket is a one yard cut piece of matching Ankara fabric that could be used as a headwrap or other DIY accessory to reflect your unique cultural style.

Making LRD pieces from thrifted denim clothes is a small step towards more sustainable fashion and respects the earth’s finite resources that were used to manufacture ‘disposable’ fast fashion clothing.
