All our ideas for upcycling and transforming a jacket or coat

Give character to a feminine denim jacket

The denim jacket is a classic, but it can lack personality. The idea here? Add colorful inserts, embroidery or even play with unexpected materials like velvet or lace to give it relief.

Revisiting a man's denim jacket

A simple addition of contrasting pockets, a velvet collar or a patchwork effect is all it takes to add style to a men's denim jacket. The interplay of colors and raw materials makes all the difference, adding a vintage or contemporary touch as desired.

Changing a coat lining

A coat can look tired, but sometimes it's all about the details. Changing the lining gives it a new lease of life, with printed, colored or ultra-soft fabrics that transform the experience of wearing it.

Merging a denim jacket and a bouclette wool jacket

Why choose between a denim jacket and a warm coat when you can mix and match? Here, upcycling means integrating sleeves or inserts in bouclette wool to combine comfort and originality. A hybrid piece, perfect for mid-season.

Mix a trench coat with a denim jacket

A perfect marriage of formal and casual, this transformation plays on contrasts by adding sleeves or denim details to a trench coat. The result? A unique jacket, both elegant and casual.

Modernizing a classic trench coat

The trench coat is timeless, but it can be revisited with contrasting belts, original buttons or even bold cut-outs. An elegant way to stand out without losing the chic of the trench.

Transforming a work jacket

Robust and authentic, the work jacket is transformed into a trendy piece with a few adjustments: adding leather pockets, colorful details, or reworked cuts for a more fitted silhouette.

Pair a denim jacket with a suit jacket

Upcycling can also be about layering and assembling. This idea combines raw denim with the structure of a suit jacket for a sharp, urban look.

Adding ethnic details to a jacket

Ethnic textiles bring a real singularity to an overly classic jacket. Embroidered yokes, traditional weaves, motifs inspired from elsewhere... A transformation that invites travel and originality.

Making a coat unique

Here, anything goes: mix of materials, play on colors, asymmetrical cuts... The idea is to create a coat that looks like no other, a totally personalized model thanks to the craftsmanship of our artisans.

Reinventing a fleece jacket

Sometimes considered too basic, the fleece jacket lends itself well to transformation. You can add strips of ethnic fabric, colorful embroidery or play with volumes to make it more modern.

Destructuring a suit jacket

Looking for a more contemporary look? The tailored jacket can be reinvented by playing with cut-outs, removing sleeves or revisiting shapes for a bolder, more architectural effect.

Creating cut-outs on a blazer

The blazer is modernized with strategic cut-outs that subtly reveal the silhouette. A modern twist that makes it lighter and more contemporary.

Upcycling is an inspiring way to extend the life of our clothes while making a style statement. With these ideas, every jacket and coat can become a strong piece of your wardrobe, unique and full of history. Want to take action? TILLI's craftsmen are here to turn your desires into reality.
