A striking vintage Jean Muir Studio coat in rich cobalt blue wool, with a generous swing silhouette that falls loosely from dropped shoulders. Worn open without fastenings, it has a wonderful fluidity, making it an easy, elegant piece to throw over everyday clothes.
The broad, softly draping lapels offer several ways to wear it: folded back, lifted up or wrapped across the front to create a different neckline. Tonal stitching follows the coat’s lines, while side pockets and a matching blue lining complete the design.
Jean Muir Studio was the diffusion line of one of Britain’s most important fashion designers, Jean Muir, who was celebrated for her mastery of cut and movement. This coat captures that sense of ease, with a vivid colour that brings a playful quality to its understated shape.
There are scattered signs of historic moth nibbling, shown in the close-up photographs. These are visible on inspection, although the coat retains its striking overall appearance when worn.
