The Fading Rainbow Vest is a vest made in collaboration with Mette who is behind the Instagram profile Ungtblod. The vest is made with a 3-colour gradient, which creates a super cool look for a rather simple and beautiful vest. The vest is made from the top down and ribbed edges are added on the bottom as well as the arm holes at the end.
