In 2021, Alabama Chanin collaborates with Diana Weymar of Tiny Pricks Project to create a collection of 21 one-of-a-kind jackets. Each piece is embroidered with 21 verses written by Diana and Natalie that capture Alabama Chanin’s journey and evolution over the past twenty-one years.
Each jacket is hand sewn, then sent to Diana’s home in Vancouver, Canada where she uses chalk to write the verses across each garment in a unique configuration. Once marked, the jackets return to Alabama where Alabama Chanin artisans embroider Diana’s blueprints.
