Creating one-of-a-kind pieces with zero-waste using antique coverlets and vintage military garments has combined the passions of designer Jean-Pierre Braganza. After running a ready-to-wear brand for 12 years in London, he was tired of the cycle of seasonal wholesale fashion and needed to find a way to focus on his true passion; design. The lockdown of 2020 brought a new, enforced slowness, and at this point he discovered the incredible beauty of antique coverlets. Loomed in the 17th and 18th centuries by European settlers in North America, the stories of these people are often told through the images woven into the fabric. Finding a way to bring this incredible craftsmanship back to life turned into the Coverlette brand. Antiques that may have been packed in an attic have been transformed into a unique and meaningful piece, meant to be worn, loved and kept forever.
