EVERGREEN: MAASAI BEADED BLAZER

The Maasai Beaded Blazer is a lapel-less statement piece that reinterprets two powerful artisan traditions—Kenyan beadwork and Indian block printing—into a single silhouette that’s tailored, sleek, and unforgettably bold.

Structured shoulders and a crisp taper create a flattering fit for all genders, while the body retains subtle ease for layering across seasons. Intricate mehendi-inspired block print details outline the sleeves and shoulders, converging with LilaBare’s signature Maasai-inspired beading in gold and iridescent black—each bead individually hand-sewn in Nairobi.

The Moto Jacket by LilaBare is crafted from an unexpected material: fibers extracted from pineapple leaves—an agricultural byproduct transformed into a richly textured textile with strength and softness. With a naturally irregular weave and subtly structured silhouette, this piece challenges the idea of what luxury looks and feels like.

Cut in LilaBare’s signature asymmetric tailoring, the jacket features a sculpted collar, architectural shoulders, and a sharp diagonal zipper that contrasts the organic slubs of the pineapple fiber fabric. Brass embellishments—cast by local artisans in Nairobi—finish the piece with a sense of armor and ritual.

Made entirely in Kenya, the Moto Jacket is part of our Temples of the Future collection—a vision of fashion where ancient craft and biomaterial innovation coexist. Powerful, versatile, and designed for movement, this jacket doesn’t just wear well—it wears a story.

Each stitch is a testament to slow fashion—woven, shaped, and finished by hand in our Kenyan atelier. Traceable from farm to finish, zero carbon, zero waste.
