Meet Amelio, a true masterpiece inspired by the remarkable life of Amelio Robles Ávila. Born as Amelia Robles Ávila in 1889, in Guerrero, Amelio broke the mold as a colonel during the Mexican Revolution. He openly lived as a man from age 24 until they passed at 95, leading the way in transgender recognition in Mexico and being a true forward thinker for his time.

Amelio embodies the power of identity and transformation, just like its namesake. This coat isn't your typical piece of outerwear; it's a complete ensemble all on its own. It effortlessly elevates any casual city-day outfit and seamlessly transitions into a chic choice for a night out on the town.

With its timeless elegance, boasting an A-line silhouette, clean lines, and those graceful short cap sleeves, Amelio truly stands out. Not to mention the Mexican embroidery and lace embellishment that have been carefully hand stitched adorning the sides, which add a unique touch, reminiscent of Amelio's vibrant journey.

But what truly makes Amelio special is its versatility. It blends sophistication, simplicity, and just a hint of masculinity. The front straps, elegantly lined with a striking black print matte cupro, offer endless options. You can tie them for a dash of masculine charm or create an oversized bow for a subtle touch of femininity, or even as a scarf And let's not forget the convenient pockets for added functionality!

Just like Amelio Robles Ávila's multifaceted life, this coat is a style chameleon, celebrating your individuality and effortlessly mixing feminine beauty with powerful masculinity. Amelio defies categorization; it's not just a coat – it's a wearable work of art, capturing authenticity and adaptability.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this unique blend of stunning craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and powerful style. Get Amelio today and make a statement, showcasing your own transformative power.

 

Please note that every Amelio coat is a masterpiece. Each embroidery patch has been crafted by a family with three generations of artisans in Zinacatan Chiapas Mexico. This means each embroidery piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, displaying its distinctive and asymmetrical beauty. Therefore, every coat is unique, and made by order. The embroidery will be slightly different that the one showcased in the photos.

Amelio features an oversized fit and dropped armpits.

Items damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered faulty. However, where possible, I will be happy to repair your much-loved pieces for a cost according to the job that needs to be done.
