Upcycled Vesper jacket #2 - size S|M

One of a kind – handmade by me in Copenhagen. There is only one.

Upcycling has been part of my work ever since I started WEIZ Copenhagen 25 years ago. I love the idea of giving old materials a new life and turning them into something even more beautiful than before.

This jacket began its life as four of my husband's old shirts. Shirts that had done their job, but still had plenty of life left in them. So instead of ending up forgotten at the back of a wardrobe – or worse, in the bin – they were given a new story.

After many hours of cutting, piecing and sewing, the shirts were transformed into this patchwork jacket. I made it myself in my workshop in Copenhagen.

And there is only one.

How it is:

Patchwork made from four pre-loved men's shirts

Reversible with a green and pink reverse side

Short silhouette with a wide tie belt at the waist

This jacket is a size S|M.

Loose, slightly boxy fit. True to size.

Wear it like this:

For everyday wear over a simple T-shirt, shirt or knit.

Layered over your favourite dress on cool summer evenings.

Or simply as a little piece of wearable art when you feel like making an ordinary day a little more special.

It is the same jacket – simply styled differently.

Materials & care:

Handmade by me in my Copenhagen workshop.

The front is made from four pre-loved men's shirts.

The reverse and details have been carefully selected from my archive of surplus textiles.

A mix of cotton, viscose and other textiles.

There is only one of this jacket – that is part of the magic.
