Description
The Mimosa blazer stands out as a beacon of easy elegance within the Fauve Romance collection. Its tailored straight silhouette features two-piece sleeves, a subtle side slit, a decorative piped welt pocket on the chest, and oversized rounded patch pockets that echo the soft lines of a shawl collar. This design element gracefully tempers the jacket's slightly masculine aesthetic, with its refined shape and pronounced shoulders adding a contemporary twist.
Recommended Fabric
Medium-weight materials such as wool, tweed, jacquard, gabardine, and denim, ranging roughly from 200 to 350g/m2, are ideal to accentuate the blazer's structured silhouette and the sharp lines of the collar and shoulders. For the interior, opting for a lining-specific fabric is advisable; our 100% cupro lining is recommended for its smoothness and superior breathability compared to polyester.
