Maison Fauve Dandelion Jacket

All designs by Maison Fauve

The Design

The Dandelion jacket by Masion Fauve is a timeless jacket with a twist-the volume of a bomber jacket and the waistband of a biker jacket. It's details include: two pleats on the back for a nice drape; the choice of three pocket finishes: a pretty collar that hugs the neck; and a buttoned finish that is less sporty than a zip. It's the perfect volume and length, for comfortable wear without being too casual
