A quilted jacket, in your mind, is still a rather sporty piece!
Imagine the same comfort, the same lightness, but in a fabric of old-fashioned flowers on a celadon background, edged with dark piping. Stop imagining: the Mathilde borrows the comfort of quilting and gives it the look of a town jacket.
-
The celadon background
This soft, slightly faded blue-green is a colour of porcelain rather than technical outerwear. It sets the tone immediately.
-
Roses and peonies
The pink and cream flowers are painted as if on old silk. The pattern is dense but all in soft shades: it dresses you up without shouting.
-
Subtle quilting
The stitching follows arabesques rather than regular diamonds. The difference looks tiny; yet it's what keeps the jacket from feeling like a puffer.
-
A clean line
Neat shoulders, straight drape, length below the hip. Wear it open over a light blouse or closed up to the collar.
-
Cool-season warmth
Warm enough for the crisp mornings, light enough that you won't be taking it off as soon as you walk into a café.
The comfort of a quilted jacket without the sporty look: that's exactly what was missing. Once you have it, you don't reach for the other jacket again — this one goes out every day.
