Carpe Diem AW02 “The Last Scene” Washable Cowhide Wrinkle Leather Shirt

Fit a size S

Carpe Diem, originating from Perugia, Italy, emerged in 1996 as an avant-garde force in fashion, challenging norms with its unique blend of Japanese avant-garde and European experimentalism. Carpe Diem is more than just a fashion label, it holds significance as a relic of sartorial history—a movement crafted by Maurizio Altieri, Maurizio Amadeithe visionaries behind CDiem, mat, linea, and m_moria. Despite its temporary closure in 2006, Carpe Diem’s legacy endures, influencing the goth fashion market and spawning brands by its original designers. The featured item is a timeless leather shirt from Carpe Diem “Linea” line. Crafted from pre-washed cow leather which possesses a thick, soft texture. Feature 925 silver buttons, including the engravement “The Last Scene,” remain intact. It’s important to note that this piece is pre-owned, as it hails from the 2002 collection, exhibiting natural fading, particularly in the shoulder area. Retailing for over $2000 in exclusive boutiques such as Atelier NY and Maxfields in the early 2000’s, this piece was insanely crafted for an everyday wear item.
