A note from the designer.

My favorite philosophy when it comes to design and wardrobe is "choose well, make it last" - this is one of those pieces I can see sticking around for a very long time. I wanted to design a piece that I could wear any and every day, whatever the occasion; whether it was to be the final piece thrown over an entire muti-garment ensemble or paired solely over a simple knit dress. The key design considerations were to have room for layering underneath while also balancing a sense of structure. In the design process, I achieved these considerations through the wide raglan sleeve, boxy silhouette, and back vent. The structure came to fruition through the addition of the wide lapel collar, which adds elegance and versatility for pairing the piece up to a more formal look. A beautiful vintage jacket, I saw while in the process of finalizing the sample, inspired the back flap. After adapting the back flap to fit the contemporary silhouette of this piece, it is now my favorite design feature. I love the distinctive flow it adds to the movement of the piece. I hope this piece adds a unique element to your collection of timeless pieces; that it is represented by you on many days and in many different ways, as it was intended.

Xx, Jo
