Nomadic Reign
CREME DE LA CREME
“Crème de la Crème” is a one-of-a-kind couture masterpiece from Nomadic Reign Couture, handcrafted from an antique American carriage blanket made between 1890 and 1930. These blankets, known for their richness in texture and enduring warmth, were often composed of mohair, wool, and sometimes horsehair. The history woven into the fabric of this coat is as exquisite as the garment itself.
The design features a grand red rose motif at its heart—symbolizing passion and timeless beauty—surrounded by lush, verdant green leaves and smaller blossoms in soft neutral hues. These vivid florals bloom against a dramatic dark brown backdrop, offering depth and dimension reminiscent of old-world European tapestries.
The coat’s silhouette is both structured and romantic, trimmed in creamy Mongolian lambswool at the collar, cuffs, and hemline. The sleeves, made from the original black segments of the antique blanket, ground the piece with a bold contrast that enhances the elegance of the floral design.
Inside, luxury meets intention. The lining is a silk burnout velvet with a Greek key motif in bronze and brown—echoing classical refinement. At the base of the liner, a chainette trim adds texture and movement, while the deep green velvet bottom panel provides a jewel-toned richness that ties in beautifully with the coat’s botanical theme. Two side pockets are lined in smooth silk for functionality wrapped in indulgence.
The front panels carry a continuation of the rose and foliage design, meeting at a discreet hook-and-eye closure that allows the visual story to flow uninterrupted. Every element has been considered, each stitch a tribute to artistry and heritage.
As is tradition with Nomadic Reign Couture, this coat is not only signed by the artist but also assigned a unique serial number, solidifying its place as a wearable work of art. "Crème de la Crème" is a garment of romance, history, and legacy—evoking the grace of the past while standing boldly in the present.
