BOTTEGA VENETA

Yusuke“Besides mouton, another fur item that caught my eye for this autumn/winter season is this short jacket from Bottega Veneta.

The body is crafted from exquisite lambskin suede, intentionally given a patina for a vintage, uneven color effect. What’s more, the shearling collar features different colors on the left and right when viewed from the front, and subtle variations when seen from the back. The use of three distinct shearling colors just for the collar is truly unique.

Further noteworthy details include the contrasting shearling fur graphically arranged on the lining of the front panels, and the abstract quilting on the back lining. Despite the abundance of luxurious details, the jacket maintains a sleek silhouette when worn, which is truly impressive.”
