Collection: Rank and Sugar

Skirts and Jackets are being photographed this week and uploaded to the website soon.  These were produced in a very limited run.  Only 75 coats and skirts were made.

Sapana x Rank & Sugar brings together two designers who see possibility in pieces with a past, and believe creative expression can be a way to share joy.

Suzanne Wade, the artist behind Rank & Sugar, is known for reimagining military garments with unexpected details and her signature smiley face patches. Her work is deeply personal, rooted in finding her own voice and encouraging others to use theirs. Spreading joy is part of how she makes, connects, and moves through the world.

For our collaboration, we brought that spirit to Sapana’s kantha textiles, overdyeing our jackets and skirts in green and adding smiley faces hand-punched by our artisans. We also reinterpreted Suzanne’s hand-crocheted rosette brooches using our kantha remnants.  Each smile is surrounded by rhinestones, carefully applied, tacked down, and finished with hand beading. Carrying the collection’s color and character into smaller, wearable pieces.

The collection blends Suzanne’s playful visual language with Sapana’s love of repurposed textiles and handwork. Pieces with history, made into something that feels entirely our own. A shared belief that what we make, and what we wear, can put a little more joy into the world.
