Some tales can be told without a single word... There is power in primitive symbols. The images our ancestors used to weave their stories on cold stone walls still call to us across the ages. I fell in love with the art of petroglyphs the first time I saw them spilled across a rock face in a dusty Utah canyon. I remember buying a tiny copy of a prehistoric hunter chasing a herd of buffalo, and I still have it on my bookshelf today, 25 years later. When I saw the Hand of Fatima, a mark of protection from evil, daubed on an ancient wall in Uzbekistan, I was inspired to create the Fatima Jacket, mixing simple symbols of centuries-old and millenia-old cultures in a bold, earthy design. I can’t guarantee that it will protect you from evil, but you’ll surely make a statement without saying a thing... The Fatima Jacket is color-blocked in four complementary cotton colors, with two front pockets, a single button closure at the rounded neck, cuffed, tapered sleeves, and your choice of funky stamped images and matching beaded ornamentation.

As all jackets are one-of-a-kind, fabric patterns available will vary!  Please remember that the colors you see in the photo are not exact due to different monitor calibrations—contact me and I will send you a swatch sheet so you can see the actual fabrics used. main | lamps | clothing | Uzbek fans | about | sizing links | feedback/ordering info | travel stories Copyright © 1998 Compass Rose Studios Site design and HTML by Qdesign of Bethesda, Maryland.
