The Papyrus Blazer coat
In a world of fast, inexpensive fashion and replaceable wardrobes each season, the Australian brand My Paloma strives to slow down and craft clothing with intention and quality. Skilled Peruvian tailors whose techniques have been passed down through generations create thoroughly unique garments designed in Australia that will last and can be lovingly passed down through generations. Ideal as graduation, birthday, wedding, and other milestone gifts, My Paloma offerings are distinctive.
My Paloma works strictly with premium fibers and organic dyes, and nothing this brand creates is manufactured en masse — everything is produced in small batches with thoughtfulness, from loom to lining. There is an elegant Japanese vibe to many of My Paloma’s kimono-like coats.
Eliana Gamboa
The brand founder is Eliana Gamboa, who was influenced by the dual geographies of Australia and Peru, her own deep intuition, and the belief that fashion is both memory and medium. Drawing from her Peruvian roots and Australian upbringing, she appreciates and reveres that which is crafted slowly, worn deliberately, and passed down with personal human meaning. My Paloma is her canvas, a space where cultural legacy and editorial design meet with integrity. She believes luxury items should not compete, but endure through time and quality. That fashion should not be performative but authentically connecting people. Eliana wanted to disrupt mainstream fashion narratives by creating collections with emotional architecture. My Paloma champions sustainable production, heritage partnerships, and women-led craft communities across Peru and beyond. Her brand mission is simple: create garments that hold significance for both creators and wearers.
Here are some of the brand’s Japanese Bamboo Kaftan coats; we all could use at least one statement coat for draping over summer soiree dresses, cocktail hours, and even to elevate a casual jeans ensemble:

The Papyrus Blazer Coat (above) is a personal favorite and a veritable work of fashion art. Cut in a bricolage of papyrus graphics from the label’s collaboration with the Florence Broadhurst archive, it has padded shoulders and comes with an optional belt to sharpen your silhouette, as well as a sophisticated contrasting lining. Timeless and one-of-a-kind, it will be a treasured wardrobe staple. Delivery is 20-25 days, though some sizes may be available for immediate delivery. It fits true to size.
If you prefer a soft, luxurious alpaca-blend coat, My Paloma is your source for a variety of styles and colors. You can also find a short leather jacket option and a magnificent pre-order coat called The Sauce that takes two months to create and features Amazon vegetable ‘Shiringa’ wild rubber (Peruvian biomaterial derived from the rubber tree). Upgrade to a variety of coats that are eco-friendly and stylish.
My Paloma also offers loungewear, dazzling scarves, distinctive handbags and woven totes, gorgeous hats, and elegant statement jewelry in a variety of colors, materials, and styles. Here are just a few of their offerings:
