The Essence jacket is a refined reinterpretation of classic outerwear, crafted with a circular design mindset that blends modern minimalism with environmental integrity. Its collarless silhouette and sculptural, structured shoulders offer an elegant contrast to its soft, recycled wool-blend fabric¡ªbalancing sharp form with a gentle touch.

Functionally designed for transitional weather, the jacket uses a fully lined interior for insulation without bulk and is secured with subtly integrated recycled button closures. The cropped body and strong neckline create a harmonious silhouette that complements both professional and casual wardrobes, offering stylistic versatility with an architectural edge.

Each material is carefully selected for sustainability: the wool blend is derived from post-consumer recycled fibers, while the buttons are made from recycled resin, reinforcing the garment¡¯s low-impact lifecycle. The clean design reduces visual noise, celebrating form and utility over embellishment.

Essence embodies Greenest¡¯s core philosophy¡ªto design garments that are not only aesthetically timeless but ethically responsible. As a Seoul-based studio, Greenest is committed to advancing sustainable fashion through modularity, conscious material sourcing, and minimalist forms that promote longevity. This jacket reflects the brand¡¯s vision: that less can truly be more¡ªwhen thoughtfully made.
