The Esme Sorona Puffer Jacket

The Esme is Mia Melon’s heavyweight waterproof down puffer for women: RDS-certified 90/10 duck down, a windproof DWR-treated Sorona® stretch shell, heat-sealed fully taped internal seams, and an insulated hood. Built for real cold, not costume bulk. $348. Sizes S–XL. Colors: Black, Desert Sage, Dusk, Mauve Mist.

Most down puffers look warm until rain finds the stitch lines. Esme closes that gap. The Sorona® shell sheds water and moves with you. Inside, heat-sealed tape seals the baffle seams so water does not creep through the needle holes. The fill is RDS 90/10 duck down for deep-winter warmth without a stiff, boxy silhouette. Wear it on its own when the cold is serious. Layer a sweater underneath when you need more room. That is the job: stay warm, stay dry, look composed.

Who it is for

FAQ

Is Esme waterproof?
The DWR-treated Sorona® shell sheds rain and wind, and heat-sealed internal seams close the stitch-line leaks that open up most down puffers. It is built as waterproof winter outerwear, not a fashion-only puffer.

What is the fill?
RDS-certified 90/10 duck down. High loft, serious warmth, responsible down standard.

How is Esme different from Ayla?
Esme is the heavyweight RDS down waterproof puffer ($348) for severe cold. Ayla is the lighter quilted everyday layer ($238) for mild weather and layering under a heavier coat.

How do I choose a size?
Match chest, waist, and hips to the body chart above. Esme is Standard fit, S–XL, with ease for a sweater. Jacket measurements show the finished piece.

How do I care for it?
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low with dryer balls so the down loft comes back. Do not iron or dry clean unless a care label on your piece says otherwise.

Does it have a hood?
Yes. Insulated hood, part of the winter system.
