Double-breasted jacket in 100% combed virgin wool with silk lining. It's a jacket built on a balance of contrasts: the geometric rigor of the tartan versus the soft patterns of the silk; the minimalism of the mother-of-pearl buttons versus the sumptuousness of the brooches; the opaqueness of the wool versus the luminosity of the silk. And above all: it originates from the men's jacket of the 1930s. Empty and reconstructed, it retains its elegant allure, but is enriched with a new and powerful sense of femininity. With those three brooches, then... It's a treasure trove of sartorial details. Starting with its fabrics. 🌸 The combed wool tartan, recreated from that of an original vintage jacket, evokes a very British imagery. The silk lining, which is doubled: silk twill printed with sinuous designs for the inside of the body, and yarn-dyed silk with stripes for the inside of the sleeves, refers to the Japanese concept that even the inside of garments must convey beauty. A gem: the inside of the pocket is also silk. You can remove it and... voilà, it becomes a clutch bag. 🌸The two-hole flat buttons are mother-of-pearl, also present on the bottom of the sleeves: there are three of them and they can be opened. 🌸It has two slits at the bottom of the back, a detail that comes from English tradition and becomes an accomplice to women's hips. 🌸The neck is peaked and its edges are joined with the fly stitch: an almost invisible detail, but essential for holding the line of the neck. 🌸All the understitches and all the topstitching on the neck and bottom are done by hand. 🌸The pocket flaps can be inserted inside the pocket itself, thus creating a flush pocket. 🌸The position of the shoulder seam is a key aspect of the Travel Jacket. It's not on the shoulder but on the back; it's the detail that allows the shoulder to be dressed, enveloping it rather than simply covering it. 🌸The brooches? Yes, they're handmade, bead upon bead, one tulle petal after another.
