Link & rebuild: the ALCH X PATTA RECONSTRUCTED VEST hits London this week…

Patta teams up with ALCH (aka Miniswoosh) for the ALCH X PATTA RECONSTRUCTED VEST, and the result is even better than you’d expect…

London-based designer Alexandra Hackett and her creative studio ALCH have made waves with their sportswear alchemy, deconstructing familiar sportswear pieces and turning them into highly-coveted new garments. But it’s not just the innovative process that’s interesting here: the resulting items are highly coveted in their own right, with co-signs from the likes of Stormzy and Nike adding to the cult appeal.

For this new project, ALCH has taken the Patta Script Logo Weekender Bag and reworked it to create a functional utility vest. Each gilet is constructed by hand in London solely using elements taken from the bag, with features including a chest utility clip, multiple pockets and the all-important massive Patta logo print at the back. An adjustable strap has been incorporated at the front, so if you really want to ramp up the pocket ninja vibes you can attach the Patta Ripstop Suede JP Cross Body Bag (assuming you were quick enough to get hold of one).

The ALCH X PATTA RECONSTRUCTED VEST will be available in very limited numbers this FRIDAY 16 JUNE exclusively at the PATTA LONDON STORE. Take a look at the images shot by Vicky Grout below, and click on the banner to shop the latest products with Patta in the meantime.
