So after visiting the Dr marten shop and looking at the brand and colors we choose different types of fabrics to work with in our collection with a variety of weight and textures, As you can see the black and red fabrics was a coat and skirt from a charity shop because after looking in the fabric shop (Anglia fashions) they felt and looked really cheap so we then hit the charity shop and found these which was good quality and the jacket is 100% leather. We also liked the idea of re-using because of the brands long lasting quality of there work and as they quote its “for life”.
The dark red and black fabric as a jacket and skirt before:
How we got to our flattered pieces to print on we used a seam stripper and all got rid of all the linings and zips to have a finished flat length piece of leather to work with:
