    DETAILS

    Soft texture meets structured warmth with a refined heritage feel. 

    The Village Jacket in Black by Karen Walker is a modern outerwear staple designed to balance comfort, texture, and understated structure. Crafted from plush faux suede, it offers a soft, tactile handfeel while maintaining a clean, considered silhouette that feels effortlessly put together.

    Shearling-style trim adds depth and warmth through the collar and detailing, creating a cosy contrast against the smooth outer finish. Subtle panel lines shape the jacket without overcomplicating the design, while classic toggle fastenings down the front introduce a quiet nod to heritage styling.

    Designed to be worn open or fastened through cooler days, it’s an easy winter layer that brings character to everyday dressing without overpowering your outfit. Whether paired with denim, tailored trousers, or knitwear, it delivers a relaxed yet refined finish.
