Lanvin Haute Couture Coat, 1940's

Jeanne Lanvin designed this coat in the early 1940's. Even though her business suffered during World War II she remained open and continued to design.  This coat is a rare example from that period.

Fashioned from a cheerful red, grey and black on cream, the wool plaid coat has a wide collar, deep cuffs, and pockets concealed in the seams. It is unlined and there are no closures, lending a casual, sporty air to the garment. The couture label is in the left side seam.

This coat comes from the estate of a member of the International Best Dressed List and full provenance will be provided. It is in excellent condition.
