The Heritage Trench
“Beautifully crafted in Italy from substantial Italian cotton, it's more than just an investment in your wardrobe, it pays homage to a story that spans centuries and continents.”
Traditional trench coat elements converge on our elevated interpretation, like gun flaps, a storm shield and accentuated lapels. Originating with purpose, gun flaps were devised to keep weapons dry when held at the chest, while the storm shield at the upper back created an additional layer to ensure water didn’t saturate the surface. It wasn’t until Greta Garbo wore the masculine military piece on the set of A Woman of Affairs in 1928 that it became relevant in womenswear. From there, it slowly evolved through the ranks of Marlene Dietrich and Audrey Hepburn into the envy of every stylish woman. An expression of heritage but with modern meaning, this key piece adopts a lighter fashion-forward attitude and a style status that endures. Fashion Focus
