Our own, Dear Friend, quilted jacket, thoughtfully designed in Austin, Texas, and ethically handcrafted in Kathmandu, Nepal. Unisex and Free Size because every body is unique and will look unique in any size! These super cozy jackets can be worn open and loose, or belted up with the accompanying sash, for extra warmth. We sometimes belt it with stockings & heels for a cozy winter dress. And, of course, they have extra deep pockets for necessary comfort.

Named after the incredible, Nabina, a founding member of our partner women's collective in Nepal. A communication & organization genius, Nabina is always ready with a smile & a joke. You know you'll have a good time with Nabina in the room!
The women of our incredible partner collective in Nepal loom the cotton, then color that fabric with gentle dyes, and finally hand make each piece. This hand loomed cotton just gets softer and comfier with wear.
Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process.
Thank you for supporting ethical & sustainable fashion!
