NO 2. FATHER SKY: LEATHER JACKET (female)

This leather jacket was designed by Khat Zorig for our "No 2. Father Sky" short film and handmade in Mongolia. According to Mongolian creation stories, Father Sky is the creator of the universe. The Earth (Mother Earth) and Father Sky are often depicted as the parents of all beings. These two forces are seen as complementary, working together to maintain the balance of the cosmos.  The back embroidery was inspired by the endless knot, known as "Ulzii" pattern, which symbolizes the interconnectedness of everything in the universe and the buddhist concept of samsara - birth, death, rebirth. Ulzii is also the name of Khat's mom :)   MADE-TO-ORDER After months of research, trial, and error, we learned shocking news - how broken the fashion industry is and how much negative impact it has on the environment. 10% of global carbon emissions. 2nd largest consumer of water. 20% of world's industrial water pollution. Significant air pollution. Over production and over-consumption leading to 11 million tons of textile ending in landfill yearly. Exponential growth of synthetic fibers (over 90% of clothes made by fast fashion companies like H&M/Shein) that take centuries to biodegrade while emitting significant CO2. The list goes on. We want to change this. By doing it differently and hopefully inspiring change along the way.   MATERIAL This is made out of 100% Mongolian cow leather. Mongolians have lived centuries worshipping their 5 animals (cow, horse, camel, sheep, and goat) for giving them food, friendship, and shelter in such harsh environmental conditions.  Unlike mass manufactured leather goods made from animals treated badly or faux leather made from plastic, this is probably the most ethical and sustainable leathers you can find on the market.   SHIPPING & RETURN Free shipping. Free return. Please give us 4-8 weeks our makers in Mongolia to make the garment, and ship directly to your door.   CARE GUIDE Minimal care is needed.
