The Story
It looked like an ordinary puffy vest but was actually the last surviving coat shorn from a long forgotten beast now considered mythical.
The coloured beasts had roamed frosty valleys in herds for centuries and been treasured by nomadic tribes for their conveniently shaped fleece and friendly disposition.
Likewise, these were not shoes but the intricate tusks of the same fantastical beast.
The fleece coats and tusks inspired handmade replicas long after their extinction and with the passing of time so too did their memory.
