Collection item
Embroidered wool coat with fur trim
This coat was part of Jane Avery's debut collection for her label, Lapin. Jane re-purposed an embroidered wool dupatta (shawl) from Pakistan to make the coat, which is trimmed with wild rabbit fur. Jane's use of wild rabbit fur aligns with her goal to use sustainable materials in her garments. She works with Dunedin furrier, Mooneys, to prepare the furs for use. The placement of the fur panels on the shoulders, collar, sleeve caps and cuffs increases the warmth of the coat.
