BODA PATCHWORK SWEATSHIRT

A UNISEX PATCHWORK SWEATSHIRT IN BRIGHT, MIXED COLOURWAYS, PIECED FROM SWEATSHIRT OFFCUTS IN FORMS INSPIRED BY THE PATCHWORK SEATS OF KAMPALA'S BODA BODA MOTORCYCLE FEATURING A FRONT ZIP. 

BODA BODA SEATS IN KAMPALA ARE COVERED IN GEOMETRIC SHAPES, STITCHED TOGETHER BY LOCAL CRAFTSMEN. THE MOTORCYCLES THEMSELVES ARE IMPORTED, BUT THE SEATS ARE MADE WITHIN THE COUNTRY — THE VEHICLE BECOMES UGANDAN THROUGH ITS SEAT. SECONDHAND CLOTHES ARRIVE IN UGANDA CARRYING DIFFERENT REFERENCES TOO, AND THROUGH UPCYCLING, WE GIVE THEM A NEW IDENTITY. THESE SWEATSHIRTS BECOME UGANDAN THROUGH THEIR PATCHWORK, THE SAME WAY. IT'S OUR VERSION OF LOCALISATION.
