MYAR - SNOW LEOPARD PATCHWORK JACKET
PRESENT
Regular coach Jacket, squared shape, straight fit. The jacket is a patch work of different types of fabrics; cotton poplin and cotton twill.
The print represent the Snow Leopard.
There are 4,000 Snow Leopards left before they become extinct.
Increasing temperatures cause them to move to higher altitudes and take refuge in increasingly narrow and fragmented areas.
THE SNOW LEOPARD
Snow Leopard are native to the mountains of Central and South Asia, it is estimated that there are some 4,000 to 6,000 worldwide, and they live at elevations of 3,000-4,500m (11,480-14,760ft). Solitary creatures, they usually hunt at dawn and dusk and are able to kill prey up to three times their own weight
Warmer temperatures are threatening to shrink the habitat of the snow leopard and weaken their struggle against extinction
WWF says that the animal is threatened not just because of climate change but also because of a combination of other factors including:
· Habitat fragmentation: the snow leopard's habitat especially in the eastern Himalayas - is being increasingly encroached upon by humans
· A decline in natural prey, resulting in snow leopards sometimes attacking livestock, which can result in local people killing them
· Illegal wildlife trade: Snow leopards are being increasingly poached for their body parts
PACKAGING
Our packaging bag is made of 97% vegetable fibre (beetroot or sugar cane). The only reason this does not reach 100% is because it is manufactured using machines that usually process plastic which may leave small traces behind. The raw material is completely petrol-free and fossil substance-free. We ask you to always be careful not to dispose of it in the environment, but for safety we have added an additive that makes it completely biodegradable within 48 months.
MYAR is committed every day to selecting products that do not pollute the planet.
HANGTAG
MYAR commitment is to bring back to life past used military garments that have been stocked for long time in darkened warehouse, bringing back the light in the present time, for a second life in a civil environment.
The up-cycling process involving MYAR is not only an aesthetic intervention but also a process of historical knowledge
This process of customization is also witnessed by a small white cloth sachet containing scraps of fabrics: a part of the past of this garment, which has been modified from the original to be worn today for the future coming.
