Being Appreciated

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

As a small studio that hand makes, and has contact with every single customer, every single piece that comes out of our studio and onto their bodies, we have a personal connection with each and every one. We strive to make garments that function beautifully, last a lifetime, that warm the body and the soul. We often get great feedback, you can read some on our testimonials page, which lift us up, just as we hope you are wearing our work. This week we received a beautiful one…..Thank you Susi!

“Good evening!

Just wanted to share some feedback.

I wore my lime green coat on this crisp frosty day in n. Virginia. The mood everywhere is grey and subdued. I wore ‘your’ coat to stay warm, and cheer myself up.

The response has been startling!

I have never received so many compliments in such a short time. Best of all, they can from people who worked in various couture industries (Cartier etc). When asked I told them that we met at the PMA craft show. Most were regular visitors and will be looking out for you at the upcoming shows.

Bottom line – we all have an eye for a great product (I am an ex curator)- You have an amazing coat collection . Just confirming what I hope you already know. 👍

Thank you 🌺

Young Collectors, Women of Style

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

I have so much fun in the booth with the wide range of women who love our work.

It is so exciting when the right woman and coat find each other, the work is complete!

Recently more and more younger women in their 20’s-40’s seem to be finding us, and I’m thrilled they feel sexy and fashionable and comfortable and warm in our coats!

This young woman in her 20’s was smart enough to encourage her parents to go to the PMA Craftshow a few years ago, and she wound up with this coat. It was love at first sight!

From Cat Walk to Craft Show

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

There is not a better way to get your head into place for one of your most important shows of the year, The Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, than to be in the company of a great designer at one of his most import shows of his life time, John Paul Gaultier, at The Brooklyn Museum.

Oh I wish I had that French accent and exuberance!

It pushed us forward.

Slideshow  of the show

Note the teddy bear. At age 7, Jean Paul made his first cone bra for his bear. Madonna was next!

It was the beginning!
