Kat Tua founded Manaaki to design contemporary clothing infused with her Māori heritage, the jacquard pattern on this 'Maaka' jacket is reminiscent of traditional styles. Meant to layer comfortably, it's made from substantial cotton and reinforced along the placket and shoulder seams for durability.

MANAAKI Maaka Cotton-Jacquard Jacket

EXCLUSIVE AT MR PORTER. Manaaki is one of three designers selected as part of our FUTURES project, created to mentor and promote new talent. Designed to withstand the ebb and flow of seasonal trends, this 'Hemi' jacket is informed by trucker styles but the pockets are deliberately misplaced to subvert the classic. It's cut from hardwearing denim and detailed with stitching to make it look as though it was stitched back together.
