A statement piece rooted in the ancestral artistry and cosmology of the Peruvian Amazon. This strapless maxi dress features a striking hand-painted jaguar surrounded by intricate kené-inspired detailing, transforming the garment into a wearable work of art.
Within Shipibo-Konibo cosmology, the jaguar is a powerful figure associated with strength, protection, transformation, and the spiritual world. Its presence is intertwined with the Amazonian landscape and a worldview in which people, animals, plants, rivers, and the spirit world are deeply interconnected.
Created by Kené Kaya in collaboration with Shipibo-Konibo kené artist Olinda Silvano, the dress brings ancestral artistic knowledge into a contemporary silhouette while honoring the artist and cultural tradition behind the work.
Each piece is individually hand-painted, making every dress unique.
