Jeffrey & Dara Vintage Emerald Knit Jacket with Gold Twisted Rope Detail
Proof that the most unforgettable designs often come from the smallest details.
This striking emerald green knit top by Jeffrey & Dara by Linda Hutley is a masterclass in understated drama. At first glance, its clean silhouette appears timeless. Look closer and an unexpected architectural front unfolds—a sweeping asymmetrical closure framed in black and gold twisted rope trim and anchored by oversized nautical-inspired rope buttons.
The dramatic fold-over lapel transforms with the way it's worn. Button it completely for a polished, military-inspired silhouette, or leave the top unfastened to create an avant-garde sculptural collar that feels effortlessly editorial. It's the kind of piece that quietly commands attention without ever needing to shout.
Soft, structured, and endlessly versatile, this is vintage knitwear elevated into wearable art.

Why We Love It
Great vintage doesn't always rely on bold prints or embellishment—sometimes it's impeccable design. The sculptural asymmetrical front, luxurious rope trim, and oversized gilt buttons give this piece a distinctly European feel, reminiscent of designer knitwear from the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Whether styled with sleek trousers, a pencil skirt, vintage denim, or layered over a slip dress, it instantly creates a sophisticated statement.
This is exactly the kind of quietly rare piece collectors love—refined enough for everyday wear, yet distinctive enough to become a signature wardrobe favorite.
