SISSEL EDELBO | Taja Jacket - Organic Cotton Velvet with Embroidered Bows Black
The SISSEL EDELBO Taja Jacket redefines the notion of a statement piece through a lens of quiet subversion. At first glance, its silhouette is one of deliberate ease—a casual-fit jacket that forgoes rigid structure for a softened, almost languid line. The defining feature is a front placket secured not by buttons or a zip, but by two self-tie bows. This detail introduces a deliberate asymmetry and a touch of the unexpected, transforming a classic shape into something that feels both intimate and intentionally undone. The bows can be tied neatly at the waist for a defined shape, or left loose to create a more fluid, open drape. Crafted from organic cotton velvet, the jacket possesses a tactile richness that is immediately compelling. The velvet’s nap is dense and plush, catching the light with a subtle, low-sheen luster that shifts with movement. Unlike synthetic velvets, this organic cotton version breathes, offering a soft hand against the skin without the weight of traditional pile fabrics. The black base serves as a dramatic canvas for the jacket’s true artistry: an intricate embroidery of colorful symbols and delicate sequins. These embellishments are not applied in broad strokes, but rather as scattered, talismanic motifs—a constellation of tiny, hand-crafted details that reward close inspection without overwhelming the silhouette. The construction reflects a considered approach to proportion. With a full length of 62 cm and a generous chest measurement of 110 cm in the S/M size, the jacket sits off the body, creating a relaxed cocoon that allows for layering without bulk. The sleeves are cut with a gentle ease, and the shoulder line remains soft, never sharp. This is a jacket that breathes with the wearer, its organic cotton velvet draping naturally rather than holding a forced shape. The artisan embroidery is applied with precision, ensuring the sequins catch the light even as the fabric moves, while the ties at the front act as the only points of tension in an otherwise effortless form. This jacket moves like a second skin, its velvet whispering with each step. The weight is substantial enough to hold its shape, yet light enough to feel unencumbered. The scattered embroidery and sequins create a subtle, kinetic shimmer—a quiet celebration that never shouts. It is a piece for the hours between day and night, for a gallery opening where the art is as much on your back as on the walls, or for an intimate dinner where the conversation matters more than the formality. Style it over a simple silk slip dress to let the jacket’s texture and detailing take center stage, or pair it with raw-hem denim and a cashmere turtleneck for a study in high-low contrast. The Taja Jacket is not an accessory to an outfit; it is the anchor, the conversation, the piece that makes the rest of the wardrobe fall into place.
