ATHENA TANK

RICK OWENS FW26 TOWER ATHENA TANK IN BLACK VEG STRETCH LEATHER

THIS ATHENA TANK IS A HIP LENGTH TOP WITH A CLOSE TO THE BODY FIT. IT IS SLEEVELESS WITH AN ASYMMETRICAL DRAPED NECKLINE AND ONE LEFT SHOULDER THAT CREATES A SLIGHT DRAPING ACROSS THE FRONT AND BACK. IT FEATURES A SIGNATURE KNIT LINE RUNNING DOWN THE CENTRE BACK SPINE.

THIS STRETCH LAMB LEATHER HAS A SMALL GRAIN TEXTURE AND A SEMI-SHINY FINISH. IT IS VEG
TANNED AND FINISHED USING NATURAL WAXES AND ANILINE WHICH MAKES A SUPPLE HANDFEEL.
BECAUSE THIS SKIN IS NAKED, NOT FINISHED USING ANY PIGMENTS COVERING THE SKIN, NATURAL
MARKINGS AND SHADINGS ARE VISIBLE WHICH MAKES EACH SKIN AND PRODUCT UNIQUE.

VEG TANNING MEANS PLANT-DERIVED TANNINS WERE USED IN THE TANNING PROCESS.

THIS LEATHER IS MADE BY A SECOND GENERATION FAMILY OWNED TANNERY IN THE SOUTH OF
FRANCE SPECIALISING ONLY IN STRETCH LEATHER PRODUCTION. EACH SKIN IS STRETCHED OUT TO
ITS LIMIT AND BONDED TO A COTTON AND LYCRA FABRIC BACKING. WHEN DYED, THE HEAT OF THE
PROCESS ACTIVATES THE LYCRA ELASTIC FIBRES THAT SHRINK THE FABRIC AND WITH IT THE SKIN,
BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL SIZE. THE LEATHER THEN EXITs THE PROCESS AS STRETCH.
