Mango Season | Refashioned Jean Jacket

I couldn’t let mango season pass without paying tribute to every brown person's favorite childhood fruit. Reminiscent of childhood memories spent enjoying the sweet, juicy fruit with family and friends, I still recall the exchanges of cartons filled with mangoes, carrying the rich fragrance of ripe fruit. This scent continues to evoke memories of summer days and warm evenings.

I've transformed thrifted denim jackets into stylish capes adorned with original patchwork and appliqué. It's disheartening to note that globally, only 8% of donated and discarded clothes are reused, and merely 10% are recycled, especially considering that clothing can take over 200 years to decompose in landfills. My goal is to address this issue by repurposing and remaking garments, thus diverting them from landfills. I deliberately seek out pieces from fast fashion brands, as they are often disposed of most frequently.
