minä perhonenpiece, (Spring Mix)Weeks Cover Only
minä perhonen creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.
We’re pleased to bring back the piece, series for the 2021 spring lineup. These patchwork covers are assembled by hand using all the left-over pieces saved during the production of clothing.
The Weeks Mix cover is a patchwork design that comes to life with the union of 9 meticulously created textiles of various colors, fabrics, and styles.
The cover interior is made of cow leather in a light green just like young leaves, and features an embroidered butterfly on the top left.
The pen hook is designed to hold a pen by its clip.
The zipper pull contains a loop made of natural leather, which is accented with a butterfly charm.
Each patch is cut from a different spot in the original textile and sewn into the patchwork by hand, giving every cover an entirely unique look. Due to the limited nature of the textile leftovers used in the patchwork, this cover is available through lottery sale. For more information, please see the About Lottery Sales section below.
