Han Coat
Han Coats are unisex luxury paintings. Blending Ennis’ Korean heritage with the sport of boxing (robes) to conjure feelings of connection and power. How does fashion influences behaviour and vice versa? Han Coats are reversible and modular with magnetic accessories/energy. Designed for duality. All editions are fully custom. Made by hand.

Subtle evolution from The Original with ultra rare purple metallic Eyes of Good Fortune (P’s Perspective). Initially intended as a gift for Ennis’ twin flame but realized as the tool for cord-cutting him instead. Fits an individual around 5 '10 who wears mens L/XL in outerwear.
