Meet the Maker: At OTTO FINN, we transform vintage kanthas—traditional Bengali quilts hand-stitched from worn saris—into wearable art. Each carries the marks of time, touch, and story, and in giving them new form, we honor both their makers and their histories. Our jackets are not only garments, but living canvases that continue the conversation between craft, culture, and contemporary life. From every jacket, more possibilities emerge: scraps reimagined into hats, bags, sweatshirt fronts, and other accessories, as well as iron-on patches and mending bundles. Each re-vision extends the life of the cloth, encouraging a slower, more respectful relationship with what we wear. Central to our practice is the prioritization of second-market materials, breathing new life into used fibers and offering them renewed purpose. Through continuous repurposing, we contribute to a more sustainable and circular fashion economy, minimizing waste and underscoring our commitment to environmental consciousness. We also embrace inclusivity—designing across seven sizes and celebrating color, personality, and individuality. At OTTO FINN, heritage and diversity walk side by side, shaping a vision of fashion that connects us more deeply to both the past and the present.
