the look
An exceptionally refined midcentury coat crafted from karakulcha broadtail, prized for its tight curl, sculptural texture, and lightweight warmth. The fluid swing silhouette and soft collar give this piece an architectural, couture-adjacent presence. Karakulcha broadtail is a highly prized lamb fur known for its tight, shallow curl and naturally sculptural surface; unlike fuller Persian lamb, broadtail has a matte, refined texture that holds shape while remaining lightweight, favored in the 50s and 60s for clean, architectural silhouettes like this swing coat. The pelts are wool-backed, a traditional midcentury technique used to reinforce delicate skins while adding structure and longevity. The coat is finished with a heavyweight silk satin lining, with hand-sewn finishing visible along the lining and hem.
