The price tag was higher than I expected, but I splurged and am so happy that I did. I have received so many complements while wearing this jacket. It is fashionable, a good length, warm and not too heavy.

This sweet little mini trench is the perfect spring jacket that I discovered at Girl Friday on Queen St. W. Soia & Kyo is based in Montreal, with offices in Toronto and New York. Famous for their European styles, fine fabrics and oversized buttons, these jackets are a must have for fashion editors. Their fabulous array of chic outerwear is available in select specialty boutiques and high end department stores including Bloomingdales around the world.

I love this jacket. I get a lot of compliments and appraising looks when I wear it out. It is unusual yet sophisticated. The material is water resistant so a little rain won't hurt it. I love the asymmetrical buttons and the high contrast between the cream and the dark brown. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this brand.
