Maison Fauve - Nage Libre (Freestyle) Jacket

About the Nage Libre Jacket

An iconic piece of the bohemian wardrobe, halfway between a jacket and a robe, the Nage Libre jacket is ideal for curling up after a swim or in the evening. With a straight, streamlined cut, a large collar that emphasizes the neck and bust, and shortened, flared raglan sleeves, it is modernised by a back yoke detail that freshens the silhouette. Available in a long, below-the-knee version or a short, hip-hugging version, with or without the collar band, it can be reinvented according to your choice of fabric and inspiration.

The Fabric

The fabric choice depends on the desired result and if you would like it very soft or more structured.  You can sew your jacket in viscose, and cotton sateen, in crepe, in jacquard of light to medium weight, fine wool, or fine gabardine.
