The Sofia Jacket
Behind the Icons of the Atelier
-
A signature of the Atelier, the Sofia Jacket reimagines the traditional tailored jacket with sculpted femininity and strength. Hand-cut by the Atelier's Master Pattern Cutter in Venice, each piece is crafted from luxurious Virgin Wool Crepe and Velvet from Lombardia, Italy as well as Virgin Wool Boucle from Veneto, Italy, its panels precisely shaped to contour the waist and reveal the shoulders with understated elegance.
Hours of handwork by the Atelier's skilled cutters and tailors give the Sofia Jacket its flawless, close-to-body fit and graceful movement. Tonal hand-stitched buttons and a fully tailored, silk-lined interior complete the piece - an enduring expression of slow luxury and the Atelier's devotion to timeless Italian craftsmanship.
Anatomy of Craft
Cut with precision to the highest calibre, the Sofia Jacket is constructed from five expertly shaped body panels and two tailored sleeves, engineered to contour the waist and create a sculpted, feminine silhouette. A graceful V-neckline frames the shoulders, while subtle darts refine the fit with quiet elegance. Each seam is finished by hand, honouring the slow luxury of Italian tailoring and the Atelier’s heritage of master pattern cutting.
From Generations of Hands, A Fabric Endures
The Sofia Jacket is meticulously crafted from exceptional Italian textiles - offered in a luminous Virgin Wool Boucle woven in Veneto with subtle gold metalled threads, or in a refined Virgin Wool Crepe prized for its fluid drape. Each cloth carries centuries of artisanal knowledge, transforming every jacket into a modern heirloom shaped by enduring craft.
Six Gilded Buttons of the Atelier
The Sofia Jacket is adorned with six 18k yellow gold-plated single-breast buttons, each engraved with the Atelier's signet. Hand-finished to a soft glow, they bring a subtle radiant to the jacket's sculpted lines. More than a fastening, each button is a quiet emblem of craftsmanship - a detail that transforms function into lasting beauty.
The Sofia Jacket in Virgin Wool Crepe is finished with tonal, hand-stitched covered buttons, each one carefully shaped and sewn by hand to blend seamlessly into the jacket's sculpted lines. Subtle yet significant, they embody the Atelier's devotion to restraint and precision - turning a functional detail into an expression of timeless tailoring.
