The dressy layer that’s actually comfortable
Elise is a plush, structured velvet blazer designed to add a bit of texture and "pop" to your outfit without the stiffness of a formal suit jacket.
What Makes It Work
-
Luxe Velvet Finish: We’ve used a dense, high-quality velvet that has a deep, matte-luxe look rather than a cheap shine. It’s soft to the touch and provides a decent amount of warmth for a night out.
-
Tailored but Relaxed: It’s cut to give you a clean silhouette at the waist, but we’ve left enough room in the shoulders so you don't feel like you’re in a straightjacket. You can actually move your arms, which is a win.
-
Fully Lined Interior: The inside is finished with a smooth satin-feel lining. This means it slides easily over a silk cami or a fine-gauge merino knit without the fabrics "grabbing" or bunching up.
-
The Lint Reality: Let’s be honest—velvet looks incredible, but it is a bit of a lint magnet. If you have a white cat or dog at home, you’ll want to keep a lint roller in your bag. That’s just the nature of the fabric.
-
Functional Pockets: Two front flap pockets that are actually deep enough for a phone or cardholder. They come sewn shut to keep the shape during shipping; just snip the threads and you’re sorted.

Color Descriptions
-
Midnight Black: The versatile essential that makes any outfit look instantly put together.
-
Emerald Green: A rich, jewel tone that looks fantastic paired with dark denim for a Ponsonby dinner.
-
Deep Burgundy: A warm, sophisticated shade that’s perfect for winter events or gallery nights.
-
Navy Blue: A softer, professional alternative to black that works well for office-to-drinks transitions.
Perfect For
-
Dinner dates when you want to look sharp but stay warm while walking to the car.
-
Art gallery openings or theatre nights where you want a bit of a "statement" look.
-
Office-to-drinks days—it’s smart enough for a meeting but relaxed enough for a bar.
-
Winter weddings as a reliable outer layer over a slip dress.
-
Anyone tired of boring blazers who wants to add some texture to their wardrobe.
Care Instructions
-
Dry clean only recommended to maintain the structure and the velvet pile.
-
Do not iron directly—high heat will crush the velvet and leave permanent shiny marks.
-
Use a garment steamer to remove any wrinkles; it’s much safer and more effective.
-
Store on a padded hanger to keep the shoulder line crisp.

What women say
"I always play it safe with dark colours. This is the first bright thing I've bought in years and I feel like myself again in it. Three people asked where it was from."
"Three strangers stopped me about this in one week. I'm 58 and I'd forgotten that could happen with a coat I bought online."
"I never see clothes modelled on women who look like me. Putting this on and seeing myself in the mirror — that was the moment. It just works."
"The weight was the first thing. Solid. Substantial. I stood there holding it for thirty seconds before I even tried it on."
"I nearly didn't order white — 'not at my age.' I'm so glad I did. It sits beautifully and I feel put together, not like I'm trying too hard."
"My husband walked into the kitchen and said 'that looks expensive.' I just smiled. He still doesn't know what I paid."
"I bought it for one event and now it's the thing I reach for constantly — dressed up or with sandals for the shops. It's become a wardrobe staple, not a one-off."
"I was burned twice this year by online fashion. This arrived looking exactly like the photos. My sister ordered the same day I showed her mine."
"I've given up on finding sandals that don't hurt by lunchtime. These I forget I'm wearing — and they still look like something, not like orthopaedic shoes."
"I bought one for me and one for my daughter. She's already ordered a third. At this price, it felt silly not to get both colours."
"I usually avoid loose styles — they make me look bigger, not relaxed. This drapes properly and skims instead of adding bulk. Finally a piece that's easy without swamping me."
"I emailed about sizing and got a personal reply from Sarah within two hours. I knew right then this was different."
"I ran my hand over them before I even tried them on. Proper stitching, real substance. I wear them every single day now — with everything."
"Bought it for my mum's 67th birthday. She's worn it every day since. She keeps texting me selfies — my mother who has never taken a selfie in her life."
"I'm fussy about jewellery — cheap pieces always look cheap. These have a real weight to them and sit beautifully. They've become my everyday pair."
"Three orders in. Every piece has been better than the last. When you find a small brand that gets it right, you don't let go."
