Aveline™ | Heritage Plaid Coat

The statement piece for a crisp Australian winter. Aveline is a premium, long-line tweed coat designed for the woman who wants to stay properly warm without sacrificing a sharp, professional silhouette.

What Makes It Work

• Premium Tweed Fabric: We’ve used a high-quality, dense tweed blend that provides substantial warmth. It’s heavy enough to block a biting wind in Christchurch, yet light enough to move with you comfortably throughout the day.

• Heritage Check Pattern: The classic plaid design isn't just a trend; it’s a timeless look that adds instant texture to your outfit. It’s the kind of coat that makes you look "sorted" even if you’re just wearing a basic tee underneath.

• Tailored Silhouette: This isn't a boxy, oversized fit. Aveline features a structured, feminine cut that cinches slightly at the waist to give you a clean frame, even when layered over a winter knit.

• Traditional Notch Lapels: The sharp collar design provides a polished, executive feel. It’s perfect for the office, but you can easily pop the collar for a bit of extra protection against the breeze during a coastal walk.

• Durable Finishing: From the reinforced buttons to the smooth interior lining, this coat is built to last more than just one season. It’s a true investment piece for your winter wardrobe.

Perfect For

• Winter Weddings or formal evening events where a puffer jacket just won’t cut it.

• Gallery openings or dinner dates where you want a "statement" piece.

• South Island travel where the morning frost requires serious insulation.

• Anyone looking for a "grown-up" coat that balances heritage style with modern warmth.

Care Instructions

• Dry Clean Only. Tweed requires professional care to maintain its structure and texture.

• Use a garment steamer to refresh the fabric and remove creases—never use a flat iron directly on the tweed.

• Store on a wide, padded hanger to prevent the weight of the coat from stretching the shoulders.

• If it gets caught in a light NZ drizzle, hang it in a ventilated room away from direct heaters to dry naturally.
