Agnes | Antique Rose Quilted Jacket

A floral print, you always worry that it might seem a bit outdated!

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

• 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, soft and refined.
• Large-scale flowers
  The pattern is bold and not repeated often, like a painting rather than wallpaper. It is this scale that gives the whole piece its contemporary feel.
• A clean cut
  Straight line, sharp shoulder, length 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 enough for cool mornings and quickly falling evenings, without the weight of a coat.
• The neutrals that accompany it
  Black, khaki, ecru, raw denim: sage goes with everything. You have nothing to buy to wear it.

Floral prints 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.
