The brand’s founder Ashley Eckstein is also an actor and plays the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Eckstein explained in an interview with StarWars.com that the new Sisters Of The Force collection was designed with the women of Star Wars in mind.

“Sisters Of The Force, to me, represents women in Star Wars,” Eckstein said. “Whether it’s the characters, whether it’s the fans, whether it’s the women who work on Star Wars, there are all of these strong women who bring Star Wars to life ... I wanted to shine the spotlight on the women of Star Wars with this collection.”

Leia's Cape Coat

Although this cape isn't a direct pull from Princess Leia's iconic coat in the original Star Wars saga, it's a dope look for cosplayers. The cape coat is made of a textured jacquard fabric with a metal nameplate on the front.
