Soft Surroundings — Brocade Mandarin Jacket | Black and gold floral with frog closures · Sz XL

Some jackets wear you. This one makes a room remember you.

Soft Surroundings built a quiet following among those who dress with intention — pieces that draw from craft traditions rather than trend cycles. This brocade jacket speaks directly to that ethos: a mandarin collar, hand-knotted frog closures, and metallic threading that catches light the way only woven fabric can.

58% polyester, 42% rayon in a satin-finish brocade. Black base with gold, red, and emerald green floral embroidery worked through the weave — not printed, not applied. The mandarin collar sits clean and close; the frog closures are intact. Size XL. Preloved condition with the kind of gentle history that suggests it was reserved for the right occasions.

Length: 26″ / 66cm | Chest (pit to pit): 23″ / 58cm

Choosing this preloved piece saved ~3,500 liters of water and avoided ~18 kg of CO₂.

Wear it over wide-leg trousers and let everything else recede. Or layer it over a simple black dress when the evening calls for something that doesn't need explaining. Dry clean to preserve the embroidery. Some pieces are bought for a season. This one gets passed down.
