Kimono's & Jackets

" Yūgen (幽玄) is an important concept in traditional Japanese aesthetics. (n)
an awareness of the universe that triggers an emotional response too deep and powerful for words. "

This sweet little jacket, has a way of making you look cute yet classy while you're in the midst of your grocery and other-kinds-of errands run. Even when you just dropped one of your bags, your hair is messy and your upper lip sweaty!

We really love how this item brings a sense of sophistication to any look, while keeping it relaxed at the same time. 

On the one side you find the colourful vintage saree, which is our favourite material to repurpose - because they’re so beautiful - and we’ve lined them with another repurposed fabric on the inside. These are fabrics that we've found during our adventures salvaging forgotten materials: old curtains, rejected bedsheets, or this cool waste material we collect from blockprinting ateliers.

All this cool stuff that, with a bit of effort and love, can be turned into the coolest jacket. And so, can go on to live a whole new life. 

Note: As we make all our clothing from repurposed fabrics, this piece is unique, just like every other item on our website. When this beauty finds a home, we can unfortunately not make another one like it. 🤎

Sizes: L-XXL (EU: 48)
maximum buste circumference when closed: 110cm

"Isa  means reversible in Javanese, a suitable name, we thought, because this jacket is reversible! :)

We proudly present you the first items of our autumn collection. How exciting!

An epic reversible jacket made from materials without purpose; beautiful forgotten fabrics that we have found and transformed to unique wearable pieces of art like this one right here. On one side we have used an vintage Indian Saree, and the other side could be anything from curtains to quilts, or this cool cotton that we found that had been used as an underlayment for handblockprinting - so cool, what a find - and basically any other fantastic reusable material we could find to repurpose. If you’re curious about what a fabric once was, please drop us a message. We’re passionate about this stuff, and would love to talk about it with you!

Making this collection has been a great adventure, in which we believe we have done a great job at making a gorgeous jacket, or wait, two gorgeous jackets, to keep you warm on mellow autumn and spring days. 

Our jacket ‘Isa’ comes in 2 sizes and 2 lengths, rocks a fantastic huge hood, has a wide beautiful belt and pockets on both sides: inside and out. 

Size: small/medium (32-36) - if you like to wear this jacket oversized we would suggest going for an Isa in medium/large.

Colour(s): Orange, Red and Yellow

An epic reversible jacket made from materials without purpose; beautiful forgotten fabrics that we have found and transformed to unique wearable pieces of art like this one right here. Isa rocks a fantastic huge hood, has a wide beautiful belt and pockets on both sides: inside and out.

This variant of Isa has two sides of our favourite material to repurpose; two different beautiful vintage Indian sarees with a cotton padding. We also have 'Isa' with recycled cotton lining or saree, for the warmer months. You can find these here.

Making this collection has been a great adventure, in which we believe we have done a great job at making a gorgeous jacket, or wait, two gorgeous jackets, to keep you warm on mellow autumn and spring days.

Our jacket ‘Isa’ is available in:
2 sizes: XXS-M and M-XL and
2 lengths: Short and Long 

This unique Isa is size XXS-M and Long.  If you want to wear this jacket oversized we'd suggest you going for an Isa in size M-XL. You can find Isa in other sizes and lengths here.

This is a free size item that fits all sizes between XXS and M

All our clothing are brilliant free sizes, we spend a lot of time and thought into making them so they fit bodies in as many shapes and sizes as possible. We're really quite proud of our designs, and we hope you'll love wearing them.

Unique clothing - only one piece like this in the world!

Uma Nomad is a sustainable fashion brand and we make our clothing only from vintage and second-hand fabrics. Because we can only make 1 piece out of every fabric we repurpose, all our clothing is truly unique in colour and print.

Eco-friendly fashion: 

Repurposing and upcycling old fabrics is an eco-friendly move, as new fabrics don’t have to be manufactured and by reusing these beautiful discarded materials they don’t end up in landfill. Besides that we make all our clothing on solar power, and we have a zero-waste policy!    If you'd like to read more about our Ethical and Sustainable business practices, do have a look here!

(Almost) every day a new collection of unique pieces:

Our clothing is unique, and they go fast! So we (try to) post a brand new collection of clothing in unique colours and designs on our website, every day of the week.

Materials:

Viscose or Rayon and organic cotton padding

Because this garment is made from recycled vintage and second hand fabrics that we collect from all over the world, it's really hard to decide the exact composition of every fabric we repurpose. We hope you can forgive us for this. Having said that, most of the fabrics we use are either Viscose or Rayon.

We only select the most beautiful and comfortable feeling materials. - After all these years we've gotten really good at this!

Size: XXS to M (28-36) - if you like to wear this jacket oversized we would suggest going for an Isa in M-XL, you can find them here.
