About the Artist

Alex Vigil is a Santa Fe–based emerging designer creating one-of-a-kind wearable art rooted in sustainability and his Spanish and Native American heritage. Working with vintage denim and reclaimed materials, Alex uses deconstruction, patchwork and handwork to give existing garments an entirely new life. His work connects heritage with contemporary design while keeping craft, community and care for the earth at its center.

About the Piece

Alex transformed vintage denim into this one-of-a-kind patchwork puffer vest, giving discarded materials a completely new story.

Crafted from 100% cotton denim with a super-soft poly fleece lining, this zip-front puffer features beautifully hand-sewn patchwork throughout. Every panel, stitch and variation makes this piece completely unique—there will never be another one exactly like it.

Notes on Vintage

Each piece is upcycled and one-of-a-kind. Expect subtle signs of age, dye variation and natural wear that reflect its previous life. These marks are part of its authenticity—perfectly imperfect and full of character.

Care

Hand wash cold with mild, oxidizer-free detergent.
Hang or air dry.
