Paper Pattern

The iconic piece of the bohemian wardrobe, halfway between a jacket and a cover up, the Nage Libre jacket is ideal for curling up after a swim when nightfall. A straight sleek cut, with a large collar that emphasizes the neck and bust, raglan sleeves flared and cropped, modernized by the back yoke detail that rejuvenates the silhouette. Available in a long version below the knee or in a short version that is flush with the hips, with or without the collar, it can be reinvented according to your choice of fabrics and your visions.
