Market Set Waistcoat

Taking design cues from the patterned zip up bags and market stall awnings of Peckham, this bold waistcoat is sourced and handmade in London.

Designed and inspired by the blending of old and new communities, spaces and ecosystems Black Brits have made around us, this piece celebrates concepts such as heritage, pride, home, nostalgia and what it is to be a Black British Londoner today. Each piece can be worn individually or as part of a set.

Designed and made in London. Only 6 produced.
