Most of our swing coat designs were based on a single garment unearthed from a charity shop or vintage clothing store.
Their roots are practical and comfortable. But we love our swing coats and jackets (the Sycamore) because of their flamboyance, swirling around you as you move.
It’s a style that was popular in the 1950s; Jane Russell in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) wore some stunning examples of short swing jackets. We have made swing coats in panels of raw silk, in velvet, Irish linen and Harris Tweed.
