NEARLY SPRING - MORE WITH SARAH LEWIS TRANSITIONAL COATS

We have previously featured winter coats by new Yorkshire designer Sarah Lewis, but being ever-hopeful, we are counting on the weather being a little warmer in the coming weeks, and are delighted to be featuring some of Sarah’s lighter weight coats.

Sarah’s items are limited edition pieces as she does not mass produce her garments – and this is reflected in the price.  All her coats are made in the UK, using luxury high-end fabrics and gorgeous linings.

We joined Sarah at her lovely Yorkshire workshop and she helped us to model her new collection.  She is wearing Anastasia in a soft raspberry pink 100% linen coat. The lining is 100 % satin acetate with a shot effect in two shades of purple. It is a very tailored coat with princess line panels and a high Bretton style collar, and optional tie belt.  In contrast to many of the other looser styles, it has a fitted body and flared skirt which follows the figure and is for those who prefer a closer fitting coat.

Anne H is wearing “Rhiannon”, a collarless blazer style edge-to-edge jacket with fitted sleeves and patch pockets in a wheat gold and black colour.  It is made from mixed fibres and has a 100% gold sating acetate lining.

Anne C is wearing “Lizzie” in stone and pale blue.  This is a straight, collarless, colour-block coat with fitted sleeves, concealed front pockets and fastenings. The stone coloured upper body is 100% linen while the pale blue lower body is 100% silk linen. The beautiful deep blue lining is 100% satin acetate. 

Anne H is wearing the same design coat, but in stone and a deeper blue, with a gold lining.

Sarah is showcasing the same design yet again, but in a different fabric – this time a grey Melange upper body in 100% Melton wool with a wine coloured lower body in 100% felted wool. The deep wine-coloured lining is 100% satin acetate.

Sarah's collection can be found here. Look out for our final blog on this collection in the coming weeks.
