This Susu Paris vest brings together rabbit fur, leather and satin in a cropped shape with plenty of texture. The fur has a natural mix of brown, grey, cream and darker tones, with leather trim through the front and collar buckle detail. A front zip gives it a clean centre line, while the ribbed hem band keeps the fit close at the waist. It has that late 70s to 90s outerwear feel that sits somewhere between ski lodge, rock wardrobe and “yes, I absolutely meant to wear this to brunch.”
Wear it over a fine black knit and high-waisted trousers, or take it softer with an ivory blouse, wide-leg denim and ankle boots. The cropped shape works especially well with higher waists, and the sleeveless cut makes it useful for layering without adding bulk through the arms. Add silver jewellery and a red lip if you enjoy a bit of texture and contrast with your polish.
