The journey of our Nadia Cape
Design
Designed in conjunction with Nadia and the team at Hancock. The original cape design is a traditional block which Hancock has produced for decades. We introduced contrast features and reversible epaulettes to create these incredible limited edition capes.
Sustainable Circular Sourcing
Our cycle of procurement begins with the selection of this stunning material from deadstock stocks at the factory. We handpicked the ideal details, fastenings, and decorations for this Navy & Silk print cape - only 17 in this colour way were ever manufactured. This cycle of procurement guarantees uniqueness and true limited edition.
Ethical Manufacturing
Our Nadia capes boast a proud Scottish heritage. Using a vulcanised rubber-bonded cloth and made using Thomas Hancock's traditional hand-cutting method. The capes are exquisitely cut and hand sealed. Natural, virgin rubber seals each seam with an expertly skilled artisan's index finger. Traditional tools ensure each and every tape's firm bonding, bringing incredible quality to each handmade cape. Exclusivity and craftsmanship come together to create a truly unique garment. The artisans who make this product are paid more than a living wage.
