Charlotte, who is 1.77 m tall, wears a size S. You can take Loba in your usual size.

At the front, on the shoulders, two bunches of flowers: pink peonies, red flowers, pale leaves. At the back, below the collar, a ring of women dressed in white, hand in hand, among the peonies.

The ring comes from old photographs from the early twentieth century: women artists who, inspired by nature, had left the city to live, create and dance in the open air, barefoot on the meadows.

There is an old woman who lives in the desert, in a place everyone knows and no one has ever seen. They call her La Loba. She walks along the dry riverbeds, beneath the mountains, gathering bones. Above all, wolf bones.

When the last bone is in place, she sits by the fire and waits for the right song. Then she raises her arms over the skeleton and sings. The ribs are covered with flesh, the flesh with fur. The she-wolf breathes. She opens her eyes, leaps to her feet and runs off into the canyon.

Somewhere along the way, a ray of sunlight or the water of a river touches her, and she becomes a laughing woman. She runs free towards the horizon.

From the tale told by Clarissa Pinkola Estés in Women Who Run with the Wolves.

The talisman: to put your own pieces back together, and sing.

100% cotton, cotton suede.

Wash at 30°C inside out, with similar colours. Do not bleach. Iron inside out at a medium temperature.

Loba is designed in Paris by Micaela. The embroideries, the flowers and the ring of dancers, are designed in Milan by the artist Elena Toscano.

The embroidery is done by hand in Ibu Dedek's atelier, among the rice fields, a few steps from the ocean: each jacket is embroidered by a single woman, in five hours.

The jacket is made in our atelier in Bali by the Ibu of Ika Jane: a team made up only of women, who choose whether to work from home, at their own pace, or together in the atelier. The brass buttons are made by hand, one by one, by Ibu Komang, an artisan from the island.
