The Archipelago Village Coat N Tote

The Southeast Asian Archive: A One-of-One Masterpiece

Constructed from rare vintage 1960s Southeast Asian velvet, this coat carries the warmth and nostalgia of mid-century souvenir art. The island scenery unfolds in vivid palms, deep ocean blues, and sunlit brush, each motif rendered with the plush depth and saturated color unique to velvet of this era. Originally sold as decorative wall hangings in the Philippines and Bali, these textiles preserve imagined moments of paradise—from river villages to hand-paddled canoes.
