Quilted Jacket
There is something deeply intentional about a garment made by hand. Our quilted block print jackets are not produced on a factory line — they are crafted in Jaipur, India, by artisans who have inherited the art of hand-block printing across generations. Each piece carries that heritage forward, making it far more than just an outer layer. It is a wearable piece of craft.
Why a Block Print Quilted Jacket Belongs in Your Wardrobe
The UK climate calls for smart layering — something light enough for an autumn afternoon but warm enough when the evening turns. A lightweight quilted jacket in hand-printed cotton strikes that balance perfectly. The soft cotton shell breathes naturally, while the inner cotton padding adds just the right amount of warmth without bulk. There are no synthetic fills, no uncomfortable stiffness — just a comfortable, breathable outer layer that moves with you. What sets a block print quilted jacket apart from a standard quilted gilet or padded jacket is the story it tells. Every print — whether it is a delicate floral motif, a classic ambi (paisley) pattern, or a bold boota design — has been stamped onto the fabric by hand using hand-carved wooden blocks dipped in natural dyes. The result is a print with character: slightly imperfect in the most beautiful way, and entirely unique.
Short & Long Silhouettes — A Style for Every Occasion
The collection is available in two silhouettes, both crafted with the same attention to detail.
The short quilted jacket sits at hip length and pairs naturally with jeans, wide-leg trousers, or midi skirts. It works equally well thrown over a casual cotton dress for a weekend market visit or layered above formal workwear for a Friday meeting. The piped edges and running-stitch quilting give it a polished finish that feels considered rather than casual.
The long quilted jacket offers more coverage and a more relaxed, bohemian energy. Ideal for cooler days, it pairs beautifully with slim trousers, leggings, or even worn open over a flowing dress. The length creates an effortless layered look that is very much at home in the British wardrobe.
Colour, Pattern & the Craft Behind Each Piece
The range includes a variety of hand-printed colourways — from muted desert rose and celadon green to deep olive and soft sea green — each dyed and printed using traditional Jaipuri methods. The colours are gentle enough to coordinate with most outfits, yet distinctive enough to be the focal point of a look.

FAQ's - Quilted Jacket
A block print quilted jacket is an outer layer garment where the cotton fabric has been hand-printed using carved wooden blocks dipped in dye — a traditional Indian craft known as block printing. The printed fabric is then layered with a soft cotton fill and quilted together using fine running stitches, creating a lightweight, warmth-retaining jacket with a distinctly artisan character.
Yes. These jackets are designed with a cotton shell and a light cotton padding, making them ideal for the transitional seasons — spring, early autumn, and mild winter days in the UK. They are not designed for heavy-duty winter insulation, but they layer well over knitwear or under a coat for added warmth on colder days.
A block print quilted jacket is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. For casual wear, pair it with slim jeans and ankle boots. For a more bohemian look, wear the long version open over a midi dress. It also works well layered over a fine-knit jumper for cooler evenings. The printed patterns mean the jacket becomes the statement piece, so keep the rest of the outfit simple.
The quilted jackets are currently available in sizes 42, 44, and 46 (Indian sizing). Please refer to the individual product pages for detailed size guides and measurements to find your best fit before ordering.
Hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the hand-block printed colours and the integrity of the quilting. Avoid wringing or tumble drying. Lay flat or hang to dry in the shade. If ironing is needed, use a low-heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric to protect the print.
