Description
KAIA is two coats in one!
The inner down jacket, made with recycled down from Re:down, is detachable.
With the inner down jacket, the coat is suitable for winter and temperatures down to -10°C. Without the insulation layer, it is a great spring and autumn coat that will protect you from the wind and rain.
The coat is available in two different fabrics for two different looks, a recycled polyester and a BCI cotton-polyester mix.
Key design aspects:
STANDING COLLAR
KAIA has a distinctive standing collar that gives the coat its character, while protecting you from the elements at the same time.
FLATTERING FIT
The coat sits nicely on the shoulders and has a wide skirt, to look good both with the down liner and without. The coat comes with a belt.
POCKETS
We have added zippers to the outer so that the pockets keep their shape. Both the outer jacket and the inner insulation layer has an inner pocket.
STAY VISIBLE IN THE DARK
In the sleeves we have integrated reflective bands- fold up the bottom sleeves to reveal them.
The style is true to size. With the inner layer removed, the coat will naturally gain some volume, but without becoming oversize.

Care Instructions
Use a moist cloth to remove stains, so to reduce the need for frequent washing. This will prolong the life of your jacket!
When necessary, wash the jacket on a gentle 30° degree machine wash program, with spin cycle to reduced to 700 cycles. Turn the garment inside out and close all zippers. Use mild detergent. Down puffers must be tumbled dried with dryer balls to refluff the down filling. Use a low temperature tumble cycle. Sometimes little lumps of down remain in difficult places. Use your fingers to pull these apart, then tumble dry some more (still with the dryer balls).
The outer fabric surface is treated with a water repellent, so the surface material stays dry longer. You can observe that the water forms pearls on the surface. A water repellent will eventually wear off but can be renewed. Sprays are readily available, make sure to choose a type which is eco-friendly! Apply when the jacket is washed and dry.
