SISSEL EDELBO | Taja Jacket - Organic Cotton Velvet with Bow Front

SISSEL EDELBO | Taja Jacket - Organic Cotton Velvet with Bow Front

The Taja Jacket is a study in deliberate contradiction: a structure that feels effortless, a darkness illuminated by intricate light. Its defining feature is the bow-front placket, where two substantial ties replace the expected buttons or zipper. This is not a delicate ribbon; it is a statement of closure, a sculptural knot that anchors the jacket’s relaxed silhouette. The bows introduce a tactile, almost ceremonial gesture to an otherwise casual form, creating a focal point that invites the eye to linger. The fabric is the foundation of this paradox. Crafted from organic cotton velvet, the jacket possesses a dense, plush hand that feels substantial yet surprisingly fluid. The velvet’s nap catches light with a soft, muted sheen, lending a quiet opulence to the garment. Against this deep, dark ground, the embroidery becomes a constellation. Delicate symbols, colorful threads, and small sequins are worked across the surface in a scattered, artisanal pattern. This is not a uniform print but a collection of thoughtful, hand-applied details—each stitch a small act of intention. The choice of organic cotton is not merely a footnote; it informs the entire piece, grounding the fantasy of velvet and embroidery in a tangible, responsible reality. The Taja Jacket is cut with a casual fit, meaning it offers ease without sacrificing shape. It skims the body rather than clinging, with a generous chest measurement that allows for layering over a fine knit or a simple tee. The full length hits at a versatile point on the hip, making it a natural partner for both high-waisted trousers and flowing skirts. The construction is clean and deliberate; the velvet is handled with precision to ensure the embroidery sits flat and the bows tie without twisting. It feels considered, not fussy. This jacket moves with a soft, weighted drape. The velvet allows the fabric to fall in gentle folds, while the embroidered areas add a subtle texture that shifts as you walk. It is a piece for day into evening, for a gallery opening or a quiet dinner. Style it with raw-hem denim and a leather boot for a grounded look, or throw it over a slip dress for an unexpected contrast of texture. The Taja Jacket does not demand a specific occasion; it creates its own. Consider it the anchor for a wardrobe that values character over conformity—a dark, embroidered statement that asks to be touched, examined, and worn with a quiet confidence.
