Description
Based in North Philadelphia, Paige Sato is the woman behind m.a.b.e.l -- 'makers always bring extra love'. Paige transforms damaged vintage quilts into contemporary garments and multi-use accessories. Initially, her goal was the end result—a fabulous coat, or a handy tote. Along the way, she's slowed the process to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that created these original and beautiful quilts. All quilts are pre-1950s vintage cutter quilts (no museum quality quilts were harmed in the making!). Quilts are machine washed and dried prior to cutting to ensure durability. Cropped to the high hip, this jacket features a shawl collar that can either stand on its own or fold over. There are two large patch pockets on the front, and the sleeves are long enough to fold back. The jacket has a boxy shape, but set-in sleeves for a oversized but not sloppy fit.
