Nomadic Reign
JOHNNY & JUNE
This bespoke coat is a luxurious creation, custom-made from a rare 19th-century Chase carriage lap robe or blanket. The Chase Company, known for its attention to detail and craftsmanship, designed these blankets with durable materials such as wool and mohair. The coat’s striking feature is the presence of two majestic horses, each gracing one side of the front opening panels, adorned with their signature original plastic eyes—an iconic touch from the Chase brand.
Flowing from the front to the back is a beautifully intricate floral motif, adding elegance and continuity to the design. Lined pockets on either side offer both function and a subtle detail of refinement. The shoulder yoke, cuffs, and bottom trim are decorated with vintage tassel and corded chenille passementerie, combining shades of greens and pinks to complement the floral patterns and bring a rich texture to the overall aesthetic.
Inside, the coat is lined with a radiant, shimmery pink fabric, accented with layers of vintage tassel trim in coordinating shades of pink and green. This luxurious trim is beautifully contrasted against a vintage green velvet, creating a visually stunning interplay of colors and textures.
The collar and cuffs are crafted from a sumptuous crushed blue velvet, hand-sewn to provide a second dimension of layering. This detail adds depth and a touch of royalty to the coat. To complete the design, a vintage velvet ribbon secures a gold-tone Victorian buckle, providing a statement closure that radiates sophistication.
For an added touch of grandeur, an antique bridal rosette and a Victorian silver buckle are meticulously placed on hand-ruched vintage velvet. Ostrich plumes cascade elegantly, evoking the spirit of a “winners circle” celebration, blending equestrian symbolism with couture fashion. This coat is truly a one-of-a-kind piece, masterfully blending history, elegance, and artistry into a singular, timeless garment.
