This one-of-a-kind women’s leather jacket tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and personal connection. Created for my sister, a successful artist in Los Angeles, the jacket combines soft French lamb leather, silk charmeuse lining, and intricate Ukrainian hand embroidery stitched by our mother. Designed to celebrate individuality and tradition, this custom piece is a perfect example of how bespoke tailoring creates garments that are truly special. Discover how investing in a unique jacket can elevate your wardrobe with timeless elegance and meaning.
At Anagrassia, every piece we create tells a story. One of our recent projects was a custom navy cape made for a client using a beautiful tartan fabric he designed for his church. The lightweight tartan was perfect for lining the cape, which we crafted with a hood and a reversible design for added versatility. A cognac brown Italian leather toggle completed the piece, adding a touch of luxury and practicality. Designed for both the client and his daughters, this cape combines tradition, personal significance, and timeless style—something we’re proud to have created in our South Bend atelier.
This stunning up-cycled patchwork jacket is handmade by Mary Grace Godfrey, pieced together from deadstock tweed, wool, and other remainder cuts of high-end material used in Anagrassia projects. The coat incorporates a timeless, regal pleated waist and falls to the knee. The feeling of its first wear will endure throughout the years. Not only is this garment unique, it is also responsible and sustainable fashion. With nearly zero waste, made-to-order, bespoke (handcrafted to customer's measurements), and ethically made, the Patchwork Pleated Jacket represents the best practices in fashion and the textile industry.
Ukrainian inspired jacket handmade by Mary Grace Godfery, emerging luxury designer for Anagrassia. The crop genuine cognac leather and suede jacket is fully lined and made with authentic hand embroidery from old colorful Ukrainian kilims.
What will the world look like in 20 or 30 years? Will people continue to wear disposable clothing? (The average life span of a garment is 3 years.) Will fast fashion companies exist? Will the fashion industry continue to be the #2 polluter in the world?
These are the questions being asked in the fashion industry right now. Not only are fashion companies wasting millions of pounds of unsold garments each year, it is polluting the world and exploiting labor to create the textiles and garments.
