Skipper's Dream Date Valentine's Duster

She’s got a date with herself on Valentine’s Day: an afternoon at the cinema and dinner at her favourite Ramen Bar. She chooses this duster because it’s unapologetic — a riot of red and black with leopard spots, swirling satin panels, supple leather trim and warm grid quilted sleeves. It’s equal parts futuristic cabaret and comfort; she pops on oversized heart‑shaped sunglasses and feels like the heroine in a French New Wave film. The coat swirls around her as she walks, velvet and satin panels catching the light, pockets deep enough for a paperback, a bar of dark chocolate AND a bottle of red wine.

Later, as she steps into a dimly lit jazz club, a woman at the coat check gasps. “Where did you get that?” she asks. The answer is a story about thrift stores and markets and a design studio, about salvaging textures and turning them into love letters. "It's Kimonoir." She hangs the coat over the back of a chair and traces the embroidered swirls while the band plays “La Vie en Rose.” It’s warm, indulgent, and a little subversive — the sartorial equivalent of sending yourself flowers.

One‑of‑a‑kind duster made from reclaimed fleece, leather, satin and velvet. Rich red and black palette, leopard print details and swirling velvet detail. Fits S–L with roomy pockets. Machine washable, dryable on gentle cycle for both due to mixed textiles and vintage nature.
