Nehru Jacket Raw Silk - Black | Atelier Saman Amel

Craft and Origin

As with all Atelier Saman Amel Italian ateliers, the Milan workshop adheres to the single unit production model - meaning that each piece is produced individually which puts the operation in stark contrast to conventional fashion industry practices. The single unit production approach ensures that every garment is made with purpose and with a “zero vision” for over-production otherwise commonplace in the clothing industry. Furthermore, the model puts emphasis on the people in the workshop and enables them to work to perfect the garments in a manageable pace - focusing on quality over quantity.

Yarn and Materials

Yarns and materials sit at the core of the Atelier Saman Amel product philosophy - the design starts with the fabric and develops from there. For the Resort SS26 ready to wear edit, silk has been used as a theme throughout the collection. The emphasis on silk as opposed to linen or other qualities associated with Summer wear derives from its unique ability to combine leisure drape and wool wear with an unmistakably luxurious hand touch and luster. The Nehru  jackets included in the Resort SS26 ready to wear edit are offered in a unique raw silk that has a slubby irregular texture and a soft luster.
