Sky Collection 100% Natural Luxury

AW2019/2020 SKY COLLECTION 100% NATURAL LUXURY. SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED. ETHICALLY SOURCED. SKY COLLECTION

Tengri means “Sky God” – the primary deity of a pantheon of gods believed by early Mongolic and Turkic peoples to govern all human existence and natural phenomena on earth.

The words “Tengri” and “sky” are synonymous, the physical appearance of Tengri was unknown and considered to be timeless and infinite, like a blue sky. Across Central Asia, spiritual places are decorated with blue ribbons honouring the Sky God.

This collection is inspired by these qualities and the meaning of Tengri, along with mankind’s endeavours to conquer the sky. Each piece is handmade in our sustainably produced, all-natural, undyed Noble Yarns and fabrics. These are strong and durable, yet as soft as cashmere. Warmer than merino wool, yet light and breathable. Hypoallergenic, and resistant to pilling, water and odours.

Aspects of vintage flight-coats – worn by pilots in the air and off duty – are combined with functional design elements of traditional Mongolian clothing. Created for the modern-day nomad, the collection is a contemporary interpretation of classic silhouettes, blending eastern and western influences.

The overcoat was popular with off-duty pilots. A classic style, with a strong structured silhouette, the Merlin Overcoat features two double-cloth fabrics with a loden- like feel for maximum insulation. Combining an ultra-soft Mongolian sheep wool collar and Khangai yak fabric on the body, it offers maximum protection against the elements with timeless elegance and unisex style. Coat fabric: 100% undyed and natural Khangai yak Collar fabric: 100% natural Mongolian sheep wool Generous inner and outer pockets Corozo vegetable ivory nut buttons Cupro inner-lining woven in Italy Hand-tailored in London

Crested Aviator Jacket S.J.CA.19 Jacketing RAVEN TRENCH COAT

Maintaining the iconic silhouette of the traditional trench coat, the Tengri Raven Trench Coat blends the heritage of the trench with that of the deel, a unisex outer garment worn by nomadic tribes across Central Asia for many centuries.

There is no difference in the design, materials or functionality of deels for men and women. Instead of buttoning in the middle, the deel is worn by pulling the right flap across the body and the left lapel over it. It is secured with buttons along the shoulder and side of the body and held in place with a removable belt in the form of a sash. The extra-long sleeves protect the hands against harsh winter winds, and are folded up for tasks like milking animals.

The Raven Trench Coat combines simplicity, functional utility and unisex design in a single item of clothing created for the discerning global citizen. Raven Trench Coat S.C.RT.19 Outerwear

Tailored silhouette with minimal detailing for an elegant finish Two poppers to fasten front panels against the elements Removable belt with poppers Generous outer and inner pockets Lightweight fabric: 100% undyed and natural Khangai yak fibres Cupro lining woven in Italy Hand-tailored in London FALCON PILOT’S LINER JACKET

During the First World War, most aeroplanes did not have an enclosed cockpit, so pilots had to wear lining jackets under their flight jackets to keep them warm. High wrap-around collars and snug cuffs were common features of aviation uniforms.

The Falcon Pilot’s Liner Jacket features an inner layer of Mongolian yak wadding for added warmth, mimicking the insulating properties of a yak’s coat. The unique properties of yak fibres allow these animals to survive winter temperatures as low as -40°C, yet also provide a cooling effect in the summer, when it can be as hot as +40°C.

This jacket is a perfect combination of style and function, drawing on the performance properties of the yak’s natural fibres in a modern reinterpretation of a vintage pilot’s liner jacket for today’s lifestyle.

Inspired by the construction and tailoring of First World War aviation suits and the functionality of modern two-piece police SWAT uniforms, designed for performance.

Made with a lightweight yak fabric, this jumpsuit offers multiple styling combinations thanks to the detachable top and trousers, a more adaptable solution than the traditional one-piece jumpsuit. This sustainable design feature allows creative freedom for the top to be worn separately as a casual jacket, while the trousers can be worn with any top for a tailored yet comfortable look.

Kite Two-Piece Jumpsuit S.JS.KJ.19 Detachable Jumpsuit KINGLET THREE-QUARTER-LENGTH TRENCH COAT

The trench coat was initially created as an officer’s coat, but later adapted with features for fighting in the trenches of the First World War. Deriving its name from its functionality within a military context, the trench coat is an iconic garment with front buttons, wide lapels, a storm flap, button- close pockets and large pockets for maps.

The Kinglet Three-Quarter-Length Trench Coat is equipped with a storm collar as a lightweight shield against the elements, while camel fabric- lined pockets keep the hands warm, and are secured by concealed poppers. With its baby camel body and yak fabric collar, it demonstrates contemporary utilitarian luxury.
