THE X|O JACKET
Introducing the "X-O Jacket" – a creative marvel deeply rooted in the nostalgia of 90s Nigerian childhood, where we revelled in games of animals, places, and things, daring tire races, and spirited rounds of police and thief. If those memories resonate with you, a wave of joy and happiness has just swept over you, making your heart smile.
This iconic piece from the A HAPPI PLACE 2023 style collection is a testament to our journey back in time. Crafted from luxurious sequined plush velvet, it's meticulously hand-embellished with over 2000 stainless steel pins on the arms and lapels, ensuring lasting beauty and no fear of corrosion or tarnishing.
Our vision was to encapsulate a glamorous, killer look with a playful, childlike charm – and thus, the X-O Jacket was born. This distinctive look comes complete with a white shirt-dress as shown in the picture. Plus, the shirt dress's length is customizable to your preference.
Relive those cherished memories with the "X-O Jacket" and embrace the spirit of Afro-centric fashion that's deeply connected to our cultural heritage.
