Chancay Coat

This is undoubtedly a masterpiece. Inspired by a pre-Columbian textile and stylized in size and colors, the coat has a very interesting closure in front with two rows of buttons running diagonally. The pre-columbian inspiration has been dramatized by making the motif on the body much larger than the one used on the front panel. It is completed with a high collar.
