PINEAPPLE MOTO JACKET
- Description
- KEY FEATURES
- CARE GUIDE
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.
Please allow 4-6 weeks for your order to dispatch.
