Denim jacket with chumbes woven along the sleeves

A denim jacket set with chumbes woven on the guanga by the group’s weavers. The bands are woven separately, to the measure of each garment, and stitched by hand along the sleeves and the back. No two jackets are alike, because the chumbe is chosen piece by piece.
