A coat is often the first thing a woman shows the world. Before you see the blouse, the jean or the dress, you see her silhouette. I want that first impression to feel assured, elegant and entirely her own.
That is where the Wellington began. Now in its second year, it has become a classic in our collection: a coat women return to, recognize and make their own. This season, I have expanded the colors while keeping the character that made it special.
Why the Wellington is our coat of the season
I design around the woman wearing the clothes. With the Wellington, I wanted a strong, beautifully proportioned silhouette that could move easily between her different worlds: a day in the city, a country weekend, dinner in the evening.
It has presence over a simple jean and a knit. Over evening separates, it becomes part of the occasion. That versatility is what makes it a modern classic to me. A woman can reach for it again because it belongs in her life.

Wool, cashmere and lambskin: the signature combination
The Wellington is tailored in a wool-cashmere blend and finished with lambskin leather details. I love the relationship between those textures: the softness of the wool and cashmere, the supple leather accents and the definition they bring to the silhouette.
These materials give the coat its richness. The effect is refined and tactile, with enough structure to make the whole look feel considered. It is outerwear with the same attention to proportion that I bring to my pants.
A familiar silhouette, an expanded palette
Color changes the mood of a coat. For the Wellington's second year, the palette gives women more ways to make that signature silhouette their own.
- Brown brings depth to camel, chocolate and cream—a rich choice for a wardrobe of warm neutrals.
- Navy feels assured and timeless over indigo denim, ivory or tailored trousers.
- Ivory brings light to the silhouette and makes a beautiful statement over dark denim or evening separates.
- Taupe offers quiet sophistication, moving easily among black, navy and softer neutrals.
- Baby Pink adds an unexpected softness to the coat's structured line.
- Wine brings a deeper, more dramatic color accent to chocolate, camel and black.
How I style the Wellington
For day, start with the Doyenne Dark Wash jean, a simple blouse or a fine knit, and let the coat define the look. The Doyenne's long line and the Wellington's tailored shape create a balanced silhouette.
For evening, I love the contrast of the coat over the Doyenne Leather Jean in Black. Keep the layers underneath clean and let the wool, cashmere and lambskin bring the texture.
Find your Wellington
The current range uses European coat sizes 36, 38, 40 and 42. Choose with your intended layers in mind; coat sizing is separate from our denim sizing. Our Wellington fit and styling guide explains what to consider, and our team can provide personal guidance.
Follow the garment care label and tell your cleaner that the coat includes lambskin leather details. Check the product page for your selected color and size for current availability. Navy and Brown are currently pre-orders, expected to ship November 15, 2026, subject to production confirmation.
For me, the Wellington is our coat of the season because it has a life beyond this season. A familiar silhouette, beautiful materials and a color that feels like you: that is how a coat becomes a classic.
