Safiri Jacket - Lili

The Safiri Jacket reimagines reclaimed heritage textiles through a softly structured quilted silhouette designed for warmth, layering, and movement through season.

“Safiri,” meaning journey in Swahili, reflects the spirit of cultural movement and exchange held within the garment - where textile traditions travel across generations, regions, and contemporary dressing.

Crafted from reclaimed sari textiles and quilted for everyday wearability, each jacket balances visual storytelling with functionality. Ornate borders, woven motifs, and heritage detailing are thoughtfully preserved within the quilting, allowing the history of the textile to remain visible through a contemporary silhouette.

Designed as a statement layering piece, the Safiri Jacket moves effortlessly between occasion dressing, travel, and elevated winter wear. The softly structured shape offers warmth without heaviness, while remaining fluid and easy to style across seasons.

Each piece remains entirely one-of-one.
