Jenny Rose Mohair Vest : Bit Of Fluff
A joyful celebration of slow craft.
Hand knitted in Cornwall by local maker Jenny Rose, this one of a kind vest has been created entirely from carefully collected vintage mohair yarns, giving forgotten fibres a beautiful second life. No new yarns. No waste. Just colour, creativity and countless hours of patient handwork.
Jenny never works from a pattern. Each piece grows instinctively, stitch by stitch, meaning no two vests will ever be the same. Once it has found its home, it can never be recreated.
Knitted in a striking cobalt blue with vibrant magenta trims, this beautifully simple design lets the rich colour and soft halo of the vintage mohair do all the talking. On the back, Jenny has embroidered the words "bit of fluff" by hand, one of the playful phrases she occasionally stitches into her work as each piece evolves. It's a gentle reminder not to take life too seriously and a little nod to the wonderfully fluffy nature of mohair itself.
The vintage mohair has a beautiful natural stretch, allowing the vest to comfortably mould to a variety of body shapes and sizes while retaining its relaxed silhouette. Perfect layered over dresses, shirts or simple tees throughout every season.
In a world of fast fashion, these are the opposite. Thoughtfully made, impossible to mass produce and created with care by the hands of a local maker we're incredibly proud to share with our community.
Every vest is individually photographed, and the one you see is the one you'll receive.

The Story of Our Block Printing, Our Indian Artisans, and Why Slow Craft Matters
Some stories begin quietly, with curiosity. Ours began with a deep pull towards something older than trends. Something slower. Something real.
Block printing has been part of Naked Generation from the very beginning. Not as a technique, but as a philosophy. A way of making that honours time, touch, and tradition.
This ancient textile craft, practiced in India for thousands of years, uses hand-carved wooden blocks to print fabric with natural or low-impact dyes. Each pattern is pressed by hand, one layer at a time, creating subtle imperfections that make every piece unique. No two are ever the same.
This is not mass production. This is memory in motion.
Our Journey with Our Indian Artisans
Our relationship with block printing began through travel, curiosity, and a desire to understand where our clothing comes from. Over time, this became something deeper than sourcing. It became connection.
We have been incredibly lucky to work with artisans whose families have practiced this craft for generations. Their workshops are not factories. They are living spaces of rhythm and ritual. Blocks stacked like stories. Dye vats in deep indigo, rust, and earth tones. Fabrics drying under the open sky.
There is always chai. Always conversation. Always laughter.
Trust is built slowly. Over meals. Over long days. Over shared ideas. Over learning each other’s worlds. These relationships are not transactional. They are collaborative. Every print, every placement, every colour choice is discussed, tested, and felt.
We believe that who makes your clothes matters just as much as how they look.
How Our Block Printed Pieces Are Made
Each Naked Generation block printed piece begins with a hand-carved wooden block. These blocks are carved by skilled craftsmen, often using patterns that have been passed down through generations.
The fabric is first washed and prepared. Then comes the printing.
Dye is applied to the block, and the block is pressed by hand onto the fabric. One print. One moment. One breath. This is repeated again and again, building the pattern slowly. Alignment is done by eye, not by machine.
After printing, the fabrics are left to dry naturally in the sun. Then washed, softened, and prepared for cutting and sewing.
This process takes days, sometimes weeks. It cannot be rushed.
It is slow. It is human. It is full of intention.
This is why every Naked Generation piece feels alive. Because it is.
Why Slow Craft Matters
In a world built on speed, slow craft is a quiet rebellion.
It asks us to pause. To value hands. To respect skill. To remember that beauty does not need to be instant.
Block printing is not efficient. It is not perfect. It is not predictable. And that is exactly why it is sacred.
Every small variation is a reminder that a real person was here. Every uneven edge is proof of touch. Every piece carries the energy of the day it was made.
When you wear our block printed dresses, you are not just wearing a garment. You are wearing a story. A relationship. A lineage of makers. A belief that fashion can still be soulful.
This is what “printed by nature, kissed by the sun” truly means to us.
It is not a slogan. It is a way of being.
