Nomadic Reign
FOXY 'N ROXY
Introducing a one-of-a-kind heirloom coat, lovingly handcrafted from an antique Chase Company lap robe — also known as a carriage or sleigh blanket — dating back to the golden era between 1890 and 1920. Woven from a luxurious blend of horsehair and wool, this fabric once kept passengers warm on open carriage rides through wintry landscapes, and now lives again as a wearable work of art.
The palette is simply mesmerizing — vibrant teal, shimmering gold, deep copper, and rich crimson flow across the coat in vivid harmony. The sleeves are carefully cut from solid black portions of the original blanket, grounding the design and highlighting the vibrant hues of the body.
Both cuffs are adorned with plush vintage fox fur, bringing a natural texture and warmth that echoes the coat’s woodland themes. Along the front opening and sweeping around the hem are exquisite triple-tiered gold and copper tassels — each tier adding depth, drama, and a sense of movement as you walk.
The front is further elevated by beautifully scalloped borders in red and green, framing an ornate golden floral motif that whispers of old-world elegance and timeless craftsmanship.
Inside, the luxury continues. The coat is fully lined in glowing copper silk, hand-stitched with intricate vine patterns that weave quietly through the interior — an intimate detail that feels like a secret garden only the wearer knows. Functional silk-lined pockets on either side offer both practicality and decadence. The lower interior skirt is finished in sumptuous copper velvet and buttery gold tassels tied by hand, ensuring every inch of this garment is designed with intention.
But the true soul of this piece lies in the back — where two copper-hued foxes rest inside a wreath of holly berries. Their innocent yet knowing eyes are beautifully expressive, telling a tale of duality, charm, and cleverness. In Victorian symbology, foxes often stood for cunning, flattery, and deceit — yet also for intelligence, partnership, and protection. The dual presence of these foxes hints at balance — a partnership of wit and will, mystery and allure.
This coat is a rich tapestry of history, nature, symbolism, and fashion — a garment that tells a story with every detail, every stitch, every swish of fabric. A timeless fusion of function and fantasy.
