Murphy's| Floral Watercolour Quilted Jacket Lucie

With so many colours on a single piece, you might think it will be overwhelming!

Instead, imagine a painting: watercolour flowers in fuchsia, turquoise, and aquamarine blending into one another against a very light background. Stop imagining: the Lucie is a work of art before it is a print.

• Blended colours
  No shade stops abruptly: pinks glide into purples, turquoise into greens. It is these gentle transitions that make the whole harmonious rather than chaotic.
• A light background
  The pearl grey that carries the pattern calms the overall effect and allows the flowers to breathe. Without it, the jacket would be saturated; with it, it is radiant.
• A single statement piece
  Worn over black or plain grey, it becomes the entire outfit. This is the simplest way to wear a lot of colour: just put it in one place.
• Quilted comfort
  The fine padding protects from the chill without weighing down the shoulders or restricting the arms. You forget you are wearing it.
• Dark finishes
  The anthracite piping frames the edges and structures this abundance. It is the frame of the painting.

Colour is only overwhelming when it is everywhere at once. Concentrated on a single jacket, it becomes a signature — the one you will be asked to wear again.
