Byredo Presents the Rizon Leather Jacket & Vest
Byredo brings to us the innovative Rizon Leather Jacket and Vest. Born at the intersection of Indian heritage and Italian artisanal tradition, it illustrates fine cross-cultural craftsmanship. Each Rizon piece is an example of structure, soft edge, and quiet details that come together to create a distinct story.
A special feature of the Rizon jacket is its ability to develop a unique patina over its years of wear due to being cut from soft vegetable-tanned calfskin leather which is known for its natural texture and feel. Saris previously worn by Indian women line the jackets, rooting cultural memory and singularity into every fit. Along with each repurposed hand-quilted Kantha blanket used, no lining is the same.
Individuality is at the heart of these pieces with their relaxed silhouette that feels contemporary and fluid, forming to you and the life you lead.
The Rizon Vest showcases expression and versatility beautifully with its reversible design and unique pattern, its inner world to be worn outward- a purposeful homage to the cultural significance of textiles in both India and Italy.
Designed for function and fashion with impeccable craftmanship, custom brass embellishments elevate both the vest and jacket.
