Short Turtleneck Cape Aurora

Cut and silhouette

Aurora is a short turtleneck cape with a structured form that builds a distinct layer over the body without weighting it down. The semicircular line across the front gives the design a modern, sculptural character, while clearly defined shoulders emphasise the way the piece is built. The short length means it sits well over fitted dresses as well as over tops and high-waisted pieces, which is exactly where a cape of this scale is most useful.

Fabric and lining

The model is made from a high-quality fabric of 92% polyester and 8% elastane. The blend is what holds the shape of the cape and keeps its distinctive outline, while the small amount of stretch stops the piece from feeling rigid. Inside, it is finished with a lining of 50% viscose and 50% polyester, which makes it comfortable to wear over bare shoulders and gives a clean finish on the reverse.

The turtleneck

The high closed neck is one of the most important elements of the design. It gives the cape a refined, considered character and, at the same time, provides real cover in the colder half of the year. Combined with the short cut and the structured shoulders, the turtleneck is what creates the modern, minimalist silhouette that separates this piece from a scarf or a shawl.

Signature details

The most expressive element of Aurora is the semicircular cut-out at the front, which gives the model a sculptural form and sets it apart from classic capes. The structured shoulders reinforce that contemporary character. Everything else is kept minimal, so the cape can be the statement in an outfit without relying on decorative detail.

Fastening

A hidden zip runs down the back. It makes the cape easy to put on and take off, and it keeps the smooth, minimalist finish intact — placed discreetly, the closure never competes with the construction of the piece.

How to style a turtleneck cape

Wear the Aurora turtleneck cape over a fitted dress as an elegant outer layer — it was drafted with pieces like the velvet mermaid maxi dress in mind — or pair it with a simple top and high-waisted trousers. Its structured cut also works in stripped-back looks where the cape itself becomes the focal point. For a complete outfit, browse the dresses collection and the tops designed alongside it.

Which occasions it suits

Aurora belongs to elegant dinners, family celebrations, evenings out, receptions and formal events, and to cooler days when a dress needs an extra layer that still looks intentional. Because the construction is minimal, it also carries over into everyday city outfits — a short cape is one of the few evening pieces that does.

Sizing, care and made to measure

The cape is available in XS/S and M/L, and can be ordered made to measure, which can be arranged entirely online: you send your measurements and the piece is cut and sewn to them in our Ukrainian atelier, with international delivery. It comes in white and black, and because of the fabric and the structured construction it should be dry cleaned rather than washed at home.

What makes this REPULO’S cape unique

Aurora brings together the classic form of a cape and a modern, structured build. The semicircular front, the pronounced shoulders and the closed turtleneck create a recognisable silhouette that gives even a plain outfit a designed character, while the minimal finish and the hidden zip keep the shape clean. Structured short capes are an interesting alternative to a blazer or a bolero, and this one was developed and produced in Ukraine with close attention to construction and finishing.
