Althea Quilted Coat
About
Our Althea coat is block printed on organic heavyweight twill and box-stitch quilted for cozy warmth in colder months. Meticulously tailored and hand block printed in our signature geometric print. Slightly oversized cut with flattering length for a cool, relaxed fit. A nod to our mom’s favorite band and the soundtrack of childhood: the Grateful Dead’s 1980 record Go to Heaven.

Process
To make our block printed fabric, each design is traced onto a wooden slab, which then is carved by hammer and chisel into a printing block. The block is then printed meticulously by hand using soft, AZO-free, non toxic pigment.
Variation in printing & color are hallmarks of hand block printing and dyeing in small batches.
Care
Dry clean only.
