06 June 023 bat cape stand

Selene Coat

A coat made from 100% silk taffeta and bagged out with silver silk satin.

The A-line and 3/4 sleeves are inspired by the Dior Silhouette whilst the hem recreates the wings of a bat.

The piece has a quirky elegance to it. The silk buttons are dead stock from the 50s.
