Manteau en laine double-face aux manches sculptées — une architecture de grâce et de mouvement, façonnée à la main pour sublimer chaque geste.
She is no princess from the Middle Ages.
Yet, in this coat, the intricate construction of the sleeves restores the original meaning to a gesture —
as once a dropped handkerchief or a hand held to the brow spoke of a desire to be seen.
Today, she is one who refuses to be confined by the narrow frames of a classic coat.
And even if handkerchiefs are no longer dropped,
for a woman, this moment remains vital —
how she reaches for a mug of coffee,
how she greets or bids someone farewell,
how the sleeves can accentuate her grace.
Just as a medlar becomes edible only after long waiting and frost, so this coat slowly took shape in the hands of designers and masters —
to allow a woman to express herself through construction and material.
Two layers of dense wool were joined by hand with invisible seams, allowing for the absence of lining and unnecessary details — for the sensation of warmth and the lightness of the material.
The double-breasted wrap and hidden buttons were designed for a structural and clean silhouette.
The darts were meant to transition into inverted box pleats — so the step should be free and the waist — narrower.
And notch lapels — to balance the expressiveness of the sleeves, contributing their share of formality.
The medlar symbolizes patience, hidden beauty, and value.
To taste its sweetness, with the texture of apple preserve — one must know how to wait.
In the same way, this coat was maturing in the hands of masters,
to leave a sweet aftertaste — left by a gesture.
