The Hespéride blouse has a gracefully flared silhouette, structured with elegant paneling and a captivating back design. Crafted with comfortable raglan sleeves, it has a wide, rounded neckline that can be styled with or without a button placket. The fitted upper bust transitions seamlessly into a gentle flare at the front, achieving a flattering shape without gathers, ensuring a smooth and elegant drape over the chest. At the back, delicate gathers under the yoke add movement and refinement, while a wide, feminine tie closure makes for a striking detail. Light, romantic, and effortlessly chic.

The CALYPSO jacket is a timeless little jacket with a beautifully crafted collar (which you can take on or off, depending on your style) and perfect length, it combines elegance and simplicity. Its clean lines are enhanced by patch pockets with flaps and darts that structure the silhouette.

The finishing touches are impeccable: fully lined, the jacket features well-defined shoulders thanks to the use of sleeve head strips, and a fake buttoned placket on the sleeve for a resolutely "couture" look without the technical complexity. The back of the paletot is available as a very feminine gathered back or a minimalist straight back, embellished with a small bib that structures the back line.
