Khatz Coats™
Wearable Legacy.
Khatz Coats™ is a textile-based storytelling practice that transforms garments into vessels of identity, memory, and affirmation.
Each piece integrates structure, softness, and narrative—bridging what is carried internally with what is expressed externally.
The garment is not the endpoint. It is the entry point.
Each piece includes a scannable narrative element—connecting form to story and activating the work beyond the body.
