The Earth Mantle – Craft Collection Edition
Born in stillness.
Rooted in patience and form.
The Earth Mantle is hand-crocheted in Los Angeles by Essie Mae, a textile sculptor whose work honors the grounded power of craft. Each square is formed individually — linked by hand, not by machine — creating a modular geometry that balances structure with softness. Its weight is intentional, its drape instinctive. It settles over the shoulders the way earth holds the body: with quiet strength and steady presence.
Its palette — an olive clay with warm gold undertones — reflects the language of the natural world:
soil, stone, leaf, and late-afternoon sun.
Worn over denim or wool, it feels ancestral and modern all at once — a mantle that keeps history close while moving forward.
Part of the Amerigo Icono Craft Collection, this piece is a one-of-one original. There is no pattern, no duplication. It exists at the intersection of permanence and impermanence — where the human hand meets the natural world.
