Comforter-Inspired Coats

The Madewell x Buffy Puffer Coat is "Like Wearing a Comforter Outdoors"

— November 19, 2020 — Eco
Madewell teamed up with bedding brand Buffy to create the Madewell x Buffy Puffer Coat and an earth-friendly collection of accessories that are just as cozy. The puffer coat is touted as being "like wearing a comforter outdoors—AKA, totally perfect" and it's not only comfortable but also cozy thanks to its PrimaLoft insulation. As well as using a warm alternative to down made from 100% recycled content, the coat features quilted TENCEL lyocell and recycled nylon on the outside. Just like being wrapped in a cozy comforter, the puffer coat provides an oversized fit.

The Madewell collaboration also produced fun accessories like the Madewell x Buffy Muffler, plus mittens and an eye mask that are just as plush.
