Byredo Debuts the Rizon Leather Jacket and Vest in Its First Fashion Drop
Byredo introduces its first ready-to-wear pieces through the Rizon leather jacket and reversible vest, merging Italian craftsmanship with Indian textile traditions. Both garments are constructed from vegetable-tanned calfskin that develops character over time, lined with vintage hand-quilted Kantha blankets repurposed from saris. The result is a fusion of heritage and modernity, presenting leather not just as luxury material but as a canvas for cultural storytelling.
The Rizon jacket carries a relaxed silhouette with custom brass zippers and concealed Kantha lining for subtle detail, while the vest reverses to showcase the textile openly as its exterior. Each piece is handmade in Italy, reflecting a focus on artisanal quality and individuality. Byredo frames this debut not simply as an extension of its brand but as a narrative-driven step into fashion, demonstrating how garments can carry history and identity while serving contemporary wardrobes.
