DELACROIX | Quilted Jacket Little Dogs Michèle

Fun clothes almost always end up at the back of the wardrobe!

Imagine one that doesn’t: a soft lilac, little colorful hand-drawn dogs, and a cut simple enough to wear on an ordinary Tuesday. Stop imagining: the Michèle is made to be worn, not displayed.

• A soothing lilac
  The soft, slightly grayish lilac background immediately calms the whimsy of the design. It’s a spring color that holds up very well in the late season.
• Hand-drawn dogs
  Each silhouette is painted differently, in mustard, coral, turquoise, or anthracite. The pattern has the charm of an illustration, not an industrial print.
• A modest cut
  Straight line, high collar, hip-length: the construction is classic. It’s this serious shape that allows for the lightness of the pattern.
• Soft padding
  Thin and wavy, it provides the warmth of an extra layer without the bulk of a puffer jacket. The arms remain free.
• Everyday pleasure
  This is the jacket you notice at the market, at school pick-up, in the queue. The one that sparks a conversation rather than a polite glance.

A fun piece only ends up at the back of the wardrobe if it’s difficult to wear. This one isn’t — and that’s why it will come back every week.
