Primrose | Quilted Jacket with Light Antique Roses

A floral print, you always fear it might look a bit outdated!

Imagine large antique roses set against a soft sage green, reminiscent of a family tapestry, yet tailored into a sharp and modern jacket. Stop imagining: this is the essence of Primrose.

• The green that changes everything
  On a white background, these roses would have made for upholstery fabric. On this muted sage green, they become a colour in their own right, subtle and refined.
• Large-scale flowers
  The pattern is bold and not repeated, resembling a painting rather than wallpaper. It is this scale that gives the whole piece its contemporary feel.
• A clean cut
  Straight lines, sharp shoulders, and a length that falls below the hip: nothing gathered, nothing romantic in the construction. The shape contradicts the pattern, and that is what saves it.
• Warmth for mid-season
  The lightweight padding is sufficient for cool mornings and quickly falling evenings, without the weight of a coat.
• The neutrals that accompany it
  Black, khaki, ecru, raw denim: sage pairs well with them all. You don’t need to buy anything new to wear it.

Floral patterns don’t age when the cut is youthful. That’s why this jacket doesn’t stay in the wardrobe: it comes out as soon as the temperature drops, and it stays out.
