Charm Cape

We made upcycled  hoodies!

I want these to feel like a magical cloak of comfort that will snuggle you right through your day. And, you're charming. So we're calling these the Charm Cape.

Many of these hoodies (unless they're vintage) are a cotton / poly blend, which tilts our balance away from all natural fibers. Still, I believe they are absolutely worth saving, and we are having a ball doing it. I hope that wearing them is as much fun as making them has been. 

Charm Capes are worn layered and open, with the option to tie the hood strings in a knot or bow if you would like. They are cut to land around the hip, and they have a softly curved front hem. If the original sweatshirt had a hood, we leave it as is, and for the crewneck sweatshirts we have sewn new hoods.

This Charm Cape was created from a cotton sweatshirt that I overdyed in a warm earthy brown. there is dye patterning and variation throughout. The pockets, hood, side panels and appliques are stitched from a pair of upcycled linen pants and many pieces of fabric in earthy hues that I overdyed, stamped and screen printed in water based ink. The bias binding and hood strings are made from cotton that I overdyed to a terracotta & red grid.   

This Cape features:

• Hand dyed & screen printed fabrics
  
• Fully lined cotton hood
• Large lined pockets 
  
• Hand made bias tape 
• Rounded front hem
• Our original hand printed & written tag

The best way to ensure a good fit for you & your Flux Bene is to flat measure a similar garment that fits you well (however you like a garment to fit). Compare the full chest / waist / hip measurements to the measurements listed on the tag in the final photo. 

Because all materials have been pre-washed, you don't need to worry about your Flux Bene shrinking or stretching. All are machine washable and can be tumble dried. 

All Flux Bene pieces are One-of-a-kind, Zero-waste, and Gender neutral.
