For many years, we’ve been (happily) watching as each cold-weather season unfolds a new chapter in the ever-evolving story of puffers and padded jackets.
From seemingly minimalist designs with clever features to complex, structured silhouettes with pretty-meets-practical accents, the FW24 season lies in the detail-focused design and the design of detail. And by detail, we don’t just mean buttons and hardware, but e-ve-ry-thing from the selection of materials to the tiniest elements you may not even spot at the first glance.
Today’s episode is all about puffers and padded jackets, something for every style language, need or mood. All of them have two things in common: refined craftsmanship and unexpected details, with each of them bringing its unique vibe to your upcoming months’ layering game.
With that in mind, our question is: how do you envision your next puffer?
SHORT & SWEET: ONE-MATERIAL WONDERS
All short cut, each with its own unique personality.

Rendered in soft, buttery vegan alternative to leather, this Stella McCartney puffer is as planet-loving as it is stylish.

Short in length, long on details—textured accents that open conversations and turn heads.
Ermanno - Puffer Jacket With Knitted Sleeves

Herno - Faux Fur Panel Jacket
Herno's iconic ultralight nylon jacket takes luxury to a new level with its beaver-effect faux fur collar and hem.

Herno - Nylon Ultralight Jacket
Herno’s iconic ultralight nylon is back in a sophisticated, figure-flattering long jacket.
