TIE-DYE INDIGO RIRKRIT ANTTO WORK JACKET

Introduce the Rirkrit Jacket. First made for artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, based on an existing and much-loved workwear jacket that he owns. We reworked the jacket in Supima cotton and natural dyes to create a natural and updated version of his jacket.

For the Great Hong Kong Comeback of 2019, in honor of our latest rendezvous, the Rirkit Antto Jacket was born. Only in the tie-dye indigo, the workwear jacket unites the Rirkrit Jacket's body and the iconic Antto Jacket's sleeves.

The Tie-dye Indigo Rirkrit Antto Jacket is made with cotton twill and tie-dyed in a lighter blue. Each panel is hand-dyed in Sakon Nakhon Indigo by artisans then individually cut and sewn with reinforced stitches throughout that are functional as well as a tribute to the traditional workwear jacket. Our signature red stitches adorn each jacket on the back. The components and details in Rirkrit Jacket are forged for functionality and as a tribute to the traditional workwear jacket

Made by hand with 100% natural organic cotton and dyes from sustainable sources with no pesticide, herbicide, bleach, or whitening agents, and GMO-Free. Hand-dyed in Sakon Nakhon by our Indigo Grandmas.

About Indigo
Sakon Nakhon indigo is naturally anti-bacterial, and anti-microbial, and provides a cooling effect through UV protection. It is a living and breathing dye. This jacket will become your love-worn favorite if you treat it well. As with anything living, it will fade with time, aging gracefully.

Material: 100% Cotton, wooden buttons, 100% Natural Indigo Dye. Handmade in Thailand.

Care Instructions: Machine wash on a cold setting with the same colors, then tumble dry low or hang to dry. Iron on low.

About Rirkrit Tiravanija 

Rirkrit Tiravanija is a Thai artist based between New York, Berlin, and Chiang Mai. His practice traverses sculpture, film, installation, public and private performances, teaching, and forms of public service and social action. He has routinely overturned traditional exhibition formats to emphasize social interaction, through the sharing of everyday activities such as cooking, eating, and reading. As platforms for these activities, he has designed architectural structures and interventions, presented both in the gallery and public spaces. Tiravanija’s ability to create environments that reject the primacy of the art object, instead promoting the bringing of people together through simple acts of communal care and the challenging of expectations around labour and virtuosity, has resulted in his recognition as one of the most influential artists of his generation.

Tiravanija lives between New York City, Berlin, and Chiang Mai.

We first started collaborating with Rirkrit in 2016 for The Land Foundation creating a limited edition t-shirt for his fundraiser at Art Basel Hong Kong. We have since worked on aprons, and jackets and cooked together often all over the world. He is a close friend and family to us.
