You're looking at an old trench coat and denim jacket forgotten in your closet. One too classic, the other a little outdated. What if these two garments became one and the same? At TILLI, we love upcycling, and this fusion of trench and denim, in this case two ba&sh pieces, is a fine example of what creativity and craftsmanship can offer.
These two pieces are timeless wardrobe icons. Trench, with its understated elegance and structured cut, and denim, the king of casual and rugged, form an unexpected but perfect marriage. The result is a hybrid jacket, both chic and casual, capable of sublimating any outfit. By repurposing these garments, you get a unique piece, but above all, you participate in a more responsible approach.
Transforming a trench coat and a denim jacket into a pair of jeans requires expertise. At TILLI, our craftsmen begin by analyzing both garments. Which parts to keep? Which sections to transform? The aim is to combine the strengths of both pieces to create a new, harmonious and stylish jacket.
The first step is to partially dismantle each garment. The top of the denim jacket is often used as a base for the bust, while the flowing fabric of the trench provides structure to the sleeves or lower panels. Particular attention is paid to seams and finishes to ensure a clean, durable finish.
The charm of an upcycled piece lies in the details. For example, the trench's original metal buttons can be reused to recall the piece's authenticity. The denim collar retains its casual spirit, while the trench's belt can become a central element, allowing you to adjust the size of the new jacket for a structured look.
You also have the option of adding personalized touches: embroidery, contrasting pockets or even patches to play with textures and styles. Every transformation is designed in collaboration with you, so that your new jacket reflects your taste and personality.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this type of transformation carries a strong emotional and symbolic charge. It's a way of preserving the clothes you love, while giving them a second life. You're not just wearing a jacket, but a story.
And then there's the ecological impact. By opting for upcycling, you help reduce textile waste, while limiting overproduction. It's a simple but significant gesture towards more sustainable fashion.
So, ready to wear a jacket that looks like no other? With TILLI, turn your clothes into real works of art. And above all, make your fashion a more responsible adventure.
