Women's Mauritius MWMabou FROSTY GREEN

The lightest shade in the series

This version of the Mabou is treated in a pale aqua green that reveals its green undertone only in daylight. This is the color that defines the piece, well before its construction: it shifts a basic biker jacket into an entirely different, soft and spring-like register that is unexpected for this type of garment. Such a light shade requires perfectly even leather in return, as any variation in the dye bath is immediately visible.

Embroidery revealed by the shadow of the thread

The floral motifs embroidered on the shoulders and upper sleeves match the color of the leather. On such a light color, they stand out neither through contrast nor shine, but through the shadow cast by the raised thread — an effect even subtler than on the darker versions, visible only up close and under lateral lighting. The work remains the same; its perception changes completely with the brightness of the background.

A color that calls for neutral basics

A pale aqua green works with white, ecru, light grey and denim, and becomes washed out next to another pastel that would take away the little definition it has. Worn over a dark base, it becomes a striking light accent. The short cut, ending at the waist, maintains a clean line despite the softness of the shade, and the supple, lightweight lambskin falls correctly from the very first wear.

The Mauritius house

Founded in 1972 by Jürgen Raberg, the company built its business around a single trade, leather clothing, which it has never left to diversify. Long known as Gipsy, it adopted the name Mauritius for its fiftieth anniversary, bringing its collections together under a shared identity. Its lines are now distributed in more than fifty countries, under the direction of Katrin and Christian Raberg. Alongside its main line, the house develops 2.0 by Mauritius, focused on leathers and textiles with a streetwear influence.
