The full Story & Journey behind your coat:
This blanket has a lot of surprises! It first came to us thanks to Mr. Bras, our kind neighbor, who wanted to support our work. As we began cutting into it, we uncovered three intriguing discoveries:
A paper card, possibly a receipt or dry-cleaning tag, dated 14-07-1992, from Javastraat no. 368. Javastraat is a Ams street described as “It’s a whole world in one street”—perhaps fellow Amsterdamers might know more about this find.
A tiny hand-sewn label with the name "G. Cramer," which was a common practice for soldiers in the past, whether Army or Navy.
Zaalberg historical blankets "The Zaalberg company started a woollen blanket factory in Leiden in 1814 - the factory was closed in 1976.
These small discoveries only added to the character and meaning of the transformation we were about to undertake.
Mr. Bras’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond this blanket. He’s also dedicated to preserving his own home, the Polderhuis, a building dating back to 1865. Though it had seen better days, Mr. Bras lovingly restored it using reclaimed materials, breathing new life into its historic bones.
We’re incredibly grateful for his support, and it’s amazing how his sustainable mindset aligns with ours. This coat is not just about the materials—it’s about the stories, the craftsmanship, and the respect for what came before us.
After a careful wash, the transformation began on October 17th and 18th, 2024, with the design and cutting process. By October 18th and 19th, the blanket had become a one-of-a-kind jacket. The final touches were completed by November 5th, 2024. A small photoshoot captured the timeless flow and craftsmanship of the piece.
This jacket now carries over 40 years of history, warmth, and creativity. Designed and crafted by Katerina, the transformation included hand-mending, custom design, cutting, and quilting a bespoke lining. Yasar, in our partner atelier, added the buttonholes, while Katerina personally hand-sewed the buttons, ensuring each detail was finished with care and precision.
A wearable work of art, this jacket stands out for its originality and is built to last. Wear it with pride, knowing it was made to be cherished and passed on as a true treasure.
With love (and flowers),
The Fitol Collections team
