THE LEILA COAT · ONE OF EACH

A coat no one else will ever own.

The Leila Coat: reversible, cut from a vintage kantha quilt, in the long A-line silhouette you already love. Each one exists in a single size, and when it sells, that design is gone for good.

MY STORY

It started in a bazaar, with my mother.

I grew up in India going to the bazaars with my mother. We would pick out the fabric and the trims together, bring them home, and I would watch her cut and sew an outfit we had designed at the kitchen table. Natural fibers, hand embroidery, block prints: that was simply what clothes were.

When I moved to the United States at fifteen, all of that disappeared. Shopping meant the mall and fast fashion, and the artisan-made pieces I loved were nowhere to be found. The artisans who made them had no way to reach people here.

I launched Transcend in 2020 to change that: one-of-one and small-batch pieces made from reclaimed textiles and natural fibers by artisans in India, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan and our own Seattle studio, paid fairly, with the maker's story travelling with every piece.

Clothing with a story worth wearing.

Expressive pieces for people who choose individuality over conformity, made through heritage craft, thoughtful production and materials selected with care.

DISCOVER OUR STORY
A textile with history. A jacket with a future.

THE STORY INSIDE THE CLOTH

A textile with history. A jacket with a future.

Our signature Kantha bombers begin with vintage hand-stitched textiles, then become reversible jackets designed to be worn your way. Every placement is different, so no two pieces are exactly alike.

Not every Transcend piece is upcycled. When we use new materials, we choose natural fibers and work in thoughtful, small batches.

WORN. LOVED. REMEMBERED.
