HANK'S HOLLYHOCKS
This bespoke coat, crafted from an antique buggy or lap robe blanket, also known as a carriage or sleigh blanket, represents a luxurious piece of historical craftsmanship. Produced in the United States between 1890 and 1920, this blanket—trademarked by its brand—features a blend of mohair, horsehair, and possibly other natural wool fabrics. Hank's Hollyhocks centerpiece is a charming Staffordshire Bulldog pup affectionately named Hank, possibly a tribute to a beloved family guardian from the past. Hank is portrayed with a sense of reverence and affection, framed against a backdrop of winter grass and framed by pink flowers, reminiscent of Hollyhocks growing up a rock wall. The coat's back and yoke are adorned with these floral motifs, and a vintage velvet ribbon with an old dog tag adds a personal touch to Hank’s portrayal.
The coat's design continues with a peach Chanel and silk rope trim, enhancing the historical elegance of the piece. The yoke features an 1800s woven Victorian band, highlighting the coat's vintage charm. The sleeves are made from solid black sections of the blanket, while the cuffs and collar are crafted from luxurious Tibetan lamb's wool dyed in a rich caramel color. The front of the coat showcases intricate Hollyhocks in deep caramel, gold, and maroon, with mossy greens evoking the natural growth on rock walls, reflecting the Victorian belief in Hollyhocks as symbols of strength and resilience.
The inner lining of this exquisite coat is made from silk adorned with tiny Fleur-de-Lis, nodding to French royalty. The lining is complemented by copper, mauve, and gold base trim, with a rich crushed velvet in copper color. The coat’s bottom edge is finished with beautiful purple, gold, and copper passementerie tassels and woven trim. An antique clasp with relief engravings, gold tone, and Czech glass emerald top stones completes this masterpiece, while the interior reveals a vintage burnt-out velvet with a floral motif. This coat stands as a testament to historical elegance and the deep affection of its original owners.
