Bronx and Banco Feather Dresses, Tops and Jackets

If one detail defines Bronx and Banco, it is the feather. The house uses it on gown hems, on cuffs, on sleeves and across entire bomber jackets, and it gives the clothes the movement that has made them a red carpet favourite. Jennifer Lopez wore a sage feather jacket by the label over her Brielle gown in May 2026. Feathers are also the one animal material in a collection that is otherwise largely animal-free. The house uses them in four ways, and each needs the same gentle care. Shop the range on the Bronx and Banco hub.

Quick answer

• Feather-hem gowns: the Madeline halterneck in emerald and burgundy.
• Feather-cuff tops: the Blair Top with Feather Cuffs.
• Feather minis: velvet and embellished minis with feather sleeves and trims.
• Are the feathers real? Yes. Feathers are the only animal material in the faux fur and vegan leather Fall Winter 2026 collection.

Feather-hem gowns

The feather hem is the most dramatic use. On the Madeline Halterneck Emerald Gown and the Madeline Halterneck Burgundy Gown, a deep band of feathers finishes a long chiffon skirt, so every step makes the hem move. The Strapless Chiffon Gown with Feather Trim runs feathers diagonally across an ivory skirt, and the Velvet Maxi Dress with Feather Trim sets them against black velvet for winter.

Feather-cuff tops

For Fall Winter 2026 the house took feathers into separates, which is the easiest way to wear the look. The Blair Top with Feather Cuffs keeps the body simple and puts all the drama at the wrist. Wear it with the Vegan Croc Embossed Maxi Skirt for a dinner, and with a long satin skirt for a party.

Feather minis

A short dress with feathers is a party in itself. The Velvet Long Sleeve Mini Dress with Feather Cuffs pairs black velvet with feather cuffs. The Long Sleeve Embellished Navy Mini Dress with Feather Sleeves adds embellishment to the body, and the Madeline Diamond White Halterneck Mini takes the house halter into a white mini with a feather hem, a favourite for brides at the rehearsal dinner.

Feather jackets

The feather bomber is Bronx and Banco at its most extravagant: a cropped jacket covered in feathers, worn over a gown on the red carpet and over a T-shirt everywhere else. The Marlowe Brown Feather Bomber Jacket is the current colour on Coveti.

What to wear with feathers

• One feathered piece at a time. Feathers carry the look, so keep everything else smooth: satin, velvet, fine knit.
• Keep jewellery near the face. Bracelets catch in feather cuffs; choose earrings.
• Choose a sleek bag. A hard clutch held in the hand, not a chain strap that rubs the feathers.
• Balance volume. Feather cuffs work with a slim trouser; a feather hem works with a fitted bodice.

How to care for feathers

Feathers last for years if you treat them gently. After wearing, shake the piece out lightly and hang it loosely so the plumes can recover their volume. Never press feathers, and never iron them; if they flatten, hold a steamer at a distance and let the steam lift them. Store feathered pieces in a breathable cover with space around them, away from other clothes. For cleaning, use a dry cleaner who handles feathers. A few loose feathers in the first wears is normal.
