Description

Blue felted jacket by artisan Anja Musek, based out of Atelje Amuse located in Škofja Loka, Gorenjska, Slovenia. This is a masterfully crafted wet-felted wool jacket, created entirely from a single piece of felt. The seamless construction demonstrates a high level of expertise in both felting and garment shaping, as the entire form is sculpted during the felting process rather than being cut and stitched together. The jacket features a rich blend of deep blue tones with organic textures, achieved through the careful manipulation of wool fibers.
