★★★★★

Gorgeous

"The jacket feels like art piece, the colors are true to the photos, and so comfortable to live in. This jacket is big for petite sizes, yet still flattering. This is my second NAMAI, and the handiwork is sturdy. My 6yo daughter has asked for me to pass the jackets to her when she grows up, her eyes went alight when she saw the jackets." - Kirsty L.

★★★★★

Wearing it Every Day

"This is my new go-to jacket. I love the big pockets and the material is so much sturdier and stronger than I thought it would be, but doesn't feel heavy when wearing it at all! Love the big pockets - I've already gotten so many complements and have only had it for a week or so. Love it!!" - Angela M.

★★★★★

The most special and beautiful piece

"This is my third Namai coat and I absolutely love this one. Like all of them they are so special but what I love about this one is how lightweight it is. I will be wearing this all spring and summer. Thank you Bianca!" -Robin P

JUST THE FACTS

  • The Gita is our short sleeve jacket style with a detachable tie-waist strap, making it the most versatile and warm-weather friendly of our Kantha jacket designs. The buttonless opening and detachable strap let you wear it open and relaxed or tied at the waist for a more defined silhouette. It is a great option if you want the character of a vintage Kantha quilt in a lighter, more seasonal style.

  • The Gita is designed with warmer months in mind but can be worn year-round as a lighter layer. The short sleeves make it a perfect throw-on for spring and summer, and it works beautifully as an extra layer on cool evenings or in air conditioned spaces. Note that as each jacket is made from a different vintage Kantha quilt, the thickness and hand-feel of each jacket will vary.

    You can check the "Meet the Materials" section on this page to learn the fabric weight of this exact jacket.

  • The Gita is an incredibly versatile jacket. Wear it open and relaxed over a simple tee or tank for an easy, effortless look, or use the detachable tie-waist strap to cinch it at the waist for a more defined, wrap-inspired silhouette. It pairs beautifully with denim shorts, linen pants, or a simple summer dress. It's reversible design helps making styling easy by expanding the colors it can be paired with!
