Nomadic Reign
SPRING OF LIFE
This vibrant mid-length coat is a celebration of natural beauty, European craftsmanship, and couture artistry. Created from a rare vintage European tapestry, the coat bursts with vivid color, intricate pattern, and deep narrative—evoking the serene wildness of untamed land and the quiet majesty of horses in their natural setting.
The tapestry's focal scene unfolds like a story across the back and sides: a lush, imagined landscape—perhaps inspired by the Rocky Mountains—featuring layers of greenery, textured foliage, deep pine forests, and a glistening brook or bubbling creek. Amid the wild ferns, moss, and wildflowers, one can envision a pair of mustangs—a stallion and a mare—with their newborn foal resting gently upon a floral bed. The composition is richly layered, filled with emotion, tranquility, and vitality.
Along the hem, a lush botanical motif continues with a medley of flowers, berries, and red and green leaves, adding an almost painterly finish to the lower edge. The sleeves mirror the body’s intricate tapestry, adorned with tones of cinnamon, slate gray, rich blues, and pine green. In true couture tradition, apricot-colored velvet panels have been skillfully added to the lower sleeves and cuffs, offering a soft contrast in texture and color that elevates the overall design.
The front panels continue the narrative of the back, featuring another horse—perhaps the stallion—gracefully lapping water from the stream, its reflection subtly suggested in the folds of the tapestry. A rustic wooden fence runs through the foreground, hinting at an old rancher’s land or forgotten pasture, while blueberries and floral patterns trail along each front edge.
Vintage cotton fringe trim accents both front panels and outlines the collar, giving a soft, tactile finish that speaks to its timeless heritage. The collar itself reveals a double-layered design: the original tapestry underneath and a silk paisley-embroidered lining that subtly peeks through, framing the neckline with elegant detail. A discreet hook-and-eye closure holds the coat securely while preserving the natural flow of the garment.
Inside, the lining is just as refined. A buttery-colored tassel fringe trims the base, interwoven on a tailored band, beneath which lies a continuation of the apricot velvet—adding warmth, continuity, and luxury to the interior. The coat includes silk-lined side pockets, ensuring practicality without compromising design.
As with all Nomadic Reign creations, this piece is hand-signed and assigned a unique serial number, certifying its authenticity and singular artistry. No two coats are ever the same.
A true one-of-a-kind statement piece, this coat is a wearable tapestry—a living story of wild nature, quiet strength, and heritage craftsmanship. Ideal for collectors, equestrian romantics, or anyone who values the soul of a garment as much as its silhouette.
