TUFFY & TATER
This exquisite bespoke coat, fashioned from a vintage Chase buggy blanket or lap robe—also known as a carriage or sleigh blanket—represents the pinnacle of luxury and artistry. Originating from the United States, these heavyweight blankets were designed to keep sleighs and buggies secure in cold weather. The coat's front features a captivating design reminiscent of doors adorned with peonies and floral motifs, while the back showcases a heartwarming scene of companionship between a hound, possibly a beagle or spaniel, and a Yorkie named Tuffy and Tater. Each animal is depicted with the original Chase-designed eyes, adding a touch of authenticity and nostalgia.
Tater, with golden ears, and the charcoal-colored Yorkie, Tuffy, are seen lounging outside their doghouse, embodying loyalty and anticipation. The coat’s lower back hem and upper yoke are adorned with a floral grass design, enhancing the theme of enduring friendship. Luxurious bisque-colored Tibetan lamb’s wool graces the collar and cuffs, as well as the bottom of the coat, providing both warmth and elegance. The peony motif symbolizes friendship and new beginnings, resonating with the wearer’s appreciation for genuine connections.
Inside, the lining boasts a woven tapestry-like fabric in varying shades of silver, featuring a delightful array of multicolored dogs in various poses, including wire-haired terriers, bulldogs, fox hounds, and Scotties. The lower trim of the lining is deep green velvet, and the coat is fastened with a stunning antique clasp resembling two flowers with metal petals and a faux emerald-colored Czech glass stone. A frog enclosure at the neck ensures ease and stability of closure.
This coat is a testament to timeless elegance and heartfelt craftsmanship, ideal for those who cherish true friendship and luxury.
