Description
Nothing compares to the elegance and effortlessness of a bomber jacket. Traditionally crafted in suede, ALVA has transformed the beloved classic bomber into an outerwear garment without compromising on tradition, nor elegance.
Crafted with Wind & Waterproof Cashmere Fabric, The Bomber is perfect for cool afternoon city strolls with unpredictable weather, and even skiing.
As a finishing touch, we use horn buttons that are crafted in Bergamot from a century old factory using the same hand finished techniques for generations. The buttons are polished in small barrels, hand churned against miniature cork pellets with wax and olive oil. In the winter, to contain the humidity in the barrels, Polenta residue is added from the neighbouring Polenta factory. This is the heritage and craftsmanship that ALVA preserves.
