Fortunes Jacquard Jacket, Fuchsia & Black

The Fortunes Jacquard Jacket from Sister Jane is a proper considered occasion piece — a cropped double-breasted jacket in a shimmering metallic floral jacquard of fuchsia and black, finished with contrast piping and decorative gem buttons. Classic tailoring, unmistakably Sister Jane, and exactly the kind of piece you'll pull out on repeat as we head into autumn and winter.

Sister Jane is a beloved independent British brand from London — properly considered, playful, romantic. Known for feminine pieces with a twist, and for the kind of considered detailing that lifts a jacket from ordinary to occasion.

The fabric is where this jacket earns its £110: metallic floral jacquard. A jacquard fabric has the pattern woven INTO the cloth rather than printed on top — which is why the fuchsia florals against the black ground have proper dimension and catch the light beautifully. The metallic fibre content (20% woven through the main fabric) is what gives the piece its subtle shimmer — properly considered, not showy. Fully lined for a proper finish. Main: 70% Polyester, 20% Metallic Fibre, 10% Nylon. Lining: 97% Polyester, 3% Elastane.

The design is where the fun is: cropped length (sits at the waist), double-breasted silhouette, front jet pockets (properly tailored — sleek, discreet, no bulk), contrast piping running through the seams, and — the proper hero — decorative gem buttons that shine against the jacquard. The front is actually fastened with concealed press studs underneath, meaning the gem buttons are pure decoration and the closure sits perfectly clean.

We love a jacquard. This one is going to earn its keep across the autumn-into-winter occasion calendar: for dinners, for parties, for lunches out, for anywhere you want to walk in looking considered without trying too hard.
