Luxury Feather Iconics Jackets Collection
Feathers are a signature expression of couture lightness at Yves Salomon—delicate, poetic, and undeniably chic. Each piece in the iconic collection celebrates natural movement and artisanal finesse, where turkey, ostrich, and marabou feathers are left free to move, creating volume and sensory drama. The range spans feather jackets, coats, shawls, boleros, and small pochettes, all hand-assembled using haute-confection techniques that preserve the airy texture and sculptural beauty of the material.
From Ostrich to Marabou: Inside a Luxury Feather Jacket
Feather selection and hand-dyeing
A feather jacket begins with deliberate material choices. Ostrich plumes bring wispy elegance and fluid drape, their long barbs creating movement with every step. Turkey feathers offer resilient structure and fullness, ideal for pieces that need volume without weight. Rooster feathers, by contrast, provide graphic stiffness for collars and trim where definition matters. Each variety arrives in its natural state and undergoes hand-sorting—artisans select only plumes that match in size, density, and curve.
Hand-dyeing transforms these raw materials into couture components. Specialists immerse small batches in dye, testing each shade on spare feathers to ensure depth and colorfastness. Marabou, crafted from turkey down, absorbs pigment beautifully, yielding saturated jewel tones or soft pastels. The process respects each feather's natural architecture, preserving the barbs and barbules that give the material its characteristic loft and softness.
Artisanal assembly: stitches that leave movement intact
Once dyed, feathers are fixed to garment foundations using haute-confection techniques. Artisans attach each plume individually, securing the quill with precise stitches that anchor without crushing. This method allows every feather to be left in its natural curve, so jackets, boleros, and shawls retain their airy, sculptural quality. Silk linings glide beneath the feather layer, protecting delicate barbs while adding a whisper of luxury against the skin.
The result is a garment that moves as you do—feathers catching light, shifting with gesture, never stiff or flattened. This painstaking assembly distinguishes true feather couture from mass-produced alternatives, where glue or mechanical fixation often compromises both drape and longevity.
Designer Feather Jackets, Coats and Accessories for Women
Jackets, coats and boleros
The Essentials range offers designer feather clothing in a spectrum of lengths and silhouettes. Cropped feather jackets present minimalist lines with rounded necklines and three-quarter sleeves, while longer coats extend the same fluid movement across full-length silhouettes. Each piece is assembled artisanally, with turkey or ostrich feathers selected and fixed by hand to create volume without weight. Black and white remain core palette anchors, complemented by seasonal tones—soft pinks, warm neutrals—that refresh the collection each year. Boleros add a shorter, more structured option, perfect for layering over eveningwear or pairing with tailored separates. Details are left deliberately minimal, allowing the texture and movement of the feathers to define each garment.

Shawls, pochettes and statement pieces
Beyond outerwear, feather clothing extends to accessories that bring the same tactile luxury to smaller formats. Shawls drape softly across shoulders, offering warmth and drama for evening occasions or seasonal transitions. Mini pochettes introduce feathers to handheld pieces, transforming a functional accessory into a statement detail. Each item shares the same commitment to craftsmanship—feathers are hand-dyed when needed and attached individually to ensure durability and visual impact. These pieces complement the broader wardrobe, adding texture to silk, knitwear or crepe ensembles. For the full curation of feather essentials and iconic designs, visit the Iconics Women collection.
FAQ: Luxury Feather Jacket
Is a white feather coat suitable for weddings?
A white feather coat brings refined elegance and a touch of couture drama to wedding celebrations, whether you're a guest or part of the bridal party. The lightness and movement of feathers create a romantic, celebratory silhouette that photographs beautifully. That said, feathers require thoughtful care, avoid compression, moisture, and friction, and always entrust cleaning to specialists experienced with couture feather work.
