Poche was a collaborative project by Gabrielle Datau and Jiro Maestu, conceived after a cultural pilgrimage through Bali, Indonesia, France, and Tokyo, Japan.
The brand was multifaceted, offering limited-run garments handcrafted from deadstock fabrics sourced globally, as well as custom costumes for movement-based performances, accessories, and everyday objects. Below are some garments designed, sewn and patterned by me. Poche is for everyday wear. Poche was the name of my beloved pomeranian 2007–2023. Poche forever.
