{"product_id":"perla-jacket-silk-cotton","title":"The Perla Jacket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to fasten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Perla Jacket is a front wrap jacket in light silk and cotton, hand stitched in Bali, in Perla White and Dark Moon Black. You fold one side over the other and tie it, and that is the entire mechanism. No buttons, no hooks, nothing to break and nothing to catch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not a simplification. It is how tea clothing has always been cut, and the reason is practical rather than aesthetic. Cha Dao asks you to kneel, bow, lift, pour and reach across a low table, over and over, for longer than you expected to be sitting. A wrap gives you all of that movement and never once pulls against you. A fastened jacket fights every one of those motions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo the shape came from the way of tea, and the detailing followed. Deep front panels that cross rather than meet. A tie that sits where your hands naturally fall. A line that reads composed whether you are standing in a doorway or folded on a floor cushion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it came from\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was drawn for a tea trip. Mayra was travelling to Taiwan with Global Tea Hut, and she needed something she could wear through a long ceremony without adjusting it, take off without ceremony of its own, and put back on with one movement. Everything here answers that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk and the cotton keep it light. Silk carries the light, cotton keeps it honest and keeps it cool, so it works in a warm room and takes the edge off a cool one without ever becoming the reason you are warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hand stitched by the artisan families who have made for this house since the beginning, each of them paid a real living wage, never a factory garment. Silk and cotton, no synthetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe matching skirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was designed alongside the \u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/perla-skirt-silk-cotton\"\u003ePerla Skirt\u003c\/a\u003e, in the same silk cotton, with hand woven lace along the hem. Worn together they read as one piece and they are the reason both were drawn. Worn apart the jacket layers over almost anything, linen included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColorways\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerla White\u003c\/strong\u003e is the pearl, a white with warmth inside it rather than glare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDark Moon Black\u003c\/strong\u003e is the water it came out of.

A wrap is forgiving by nature, which is the other reason tea clothing is cut this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe honest note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilk relaxes rather than creases. Keep it out of long direct sun, which is the one thing silk will not forgive. Cold hand wash or a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, hang to dry, do not wring. Made in small batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it close?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou cross the front panels and tie. There are no buttons or hooks. It holds by the wrap itself, and how open or closed it sits is your decision each time you put it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I buy it with the skirt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Choose Skirt + Jacket on the \u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/perla-skirt-silk-cotton\"\u003ePerla Skirt\u003c\/a\u003e page and both pieces arrive together in your size and colorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work over my other pieces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It was drawn to sit over the Perla Skirt, but a wrap in this weight layers over most of what you already have, including the linen. It is a good answer for an evening that turned cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I care for it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold hand wash, or a gentle cycle in a mesh bag. Hang to dry out of direct sun.
