@Manuela
The inspirational design/top quality make/fabric combine to make that a truly special garment, and is a particularly positive way you have found to manage the stress and anxiety which (from an outsider's perspective) seems to be part of HK everyday life at the moment.

Wish you lived nearer so I could snaffle your offcuts @Manuela  ....

Gorgeous ... but I wish you had asked me for some of my buttons ... I can think of at least two types that would have suited that perfectly.
