Amélie™ | Waterproof Long Parka
Amélie: The Elegant Shield
Born from the unpredictable weather of our Queenstown home, Amélie is our answer to those winters where the cold and rain simply won't let up. It’s a fully waterproof, fleece-lined parka designed to keep you dry through a coastal downpour or a sharp frost, without making you feel like you're dressed for a mountain trek.
Why It Works
-
True Protection: This isn't just "water-resistant." It’s built to handle proper rain and wind. Honest talk: because it’s a heavy-duty waterproof layer, it’s not as breathable as a light cotton jacket, but we guarantee you'll arrive looking immaculate and bone-dry.
-
High-Loft Fleece Interior: Unlike standard raincoats that feel cold and plasticky against the skin, the interior is fully lined with soft, high-loft fleece. You'll feel the warmth the moment you zip it up.
-
A Feminine Silhouette: We’ve added a subtle taper to the waist so you don't look like you’re wearing a tent. It gives you a clean, elegant shape whether you’re walking the dog or heading out to dinner.
-
Functional Storm Hood: A deep, fixed hood that actually stays in place in a breeze. It’s designed to protect your hair and face when the weather truly turns.
-
Wind-Blocking Closure: Features a full-length zip reinforced with a button-down storm flap. It seals out draughts, ensuring you’re protected even on the windiest days.
The Details
-
Material: Premium synthetic waterproof shell, fully fleece-lined.

Care Instructions

Do not use fabric softeners, as they can damage the waterproof coating.
Elise's note
"I designed the Amélie because I hated choosing between staying dry in a shapeless raincoat or freezing in a nice jacket. We built it specifically to withstand the sideways rain coming off the lake here in Queenstown. As Sarah and I pack up our studio to move to Australia, looking at the last of these parkas on the racks is bittersweet. The moment you zip it up and feel that fleece lining, the weather simply stops mattering. It has been my absolute lifesaver here. Please remember, as part of our Moving Sale, once these final units leave our studio, they are gone for good." — Elise
