Upcycled jean jacket _ Plus size XL 16 _ Orange Leather Ankh & Ankara_blue denim_One-Of-A-Kind

Handcrafted One-Of-A-Kind Upcycled jean jacket

Elevate your wardrobe with our Afrocentric jean jacket. Upcycled from thrifted denim, this one-of-a-kind plus size jacket embodies Afro-modern fashion and African heritage.

The centerpiece of this jacket is an orange genuine leather Ankh appliqué. The Ankh, an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol representing "life," adds depth and meaning to the jacket's design. Bold orange vinyl text on one sleeve spells out 'Life', resonating with the wearer's spirit and identity.

The jacket has a classic slim fit, but the Ankara fabric under-sleeve and side seam insets add wearing ease to the original manufactured size XL. A cut piece of matching Ankara fabric is included and could be used for a headwrap or to make a DIY accessory that reflects your unique cultural style.

For those who appreciate cultural couture and seek to express their African heritage in an everyday wearable piece, our Afrocentric denim jacket is more than just clothing; it's a celebration of the African Diaspora. Join us in embracing Pan-African fashion and Afrocentric style with this iconic piece.

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.
