A true statement piece from 1980s Jean Muir, this vibrant red suede coat sits somewhere between a jacket and a cocoon, enveloping the body in colour, texture and movement.
Crafted from exceptionally soft suede, the piece has a fluid, almost sculptural quality, allowing it to fall into a relaxed, cocoon-like silhouette. The surface is brought to life with black leather applique in an abstract, swirling motif, stitched onto the suede to create depth and contrast. Bold, expressive, and unmistakably of its moment, yet still entirely wearable now.
The sleeves are generously cut with a soft fullness that gathers at the wrist, finishing at a ‘bracelet length’. This detail gives the piece a sense of proportion and intention, while also allowing jewellery to sit alongside it beautifully, a subtle but considered styling moment.
Fully lined, it slips on with ease and has enough structure to hold its shape while retaining that signature softness Jean Muir is known for. Despite its boldness, it remains incredibly versatile. It can be worn over a black bodycon dress for evening, layered with a maxi for added drama, or styled more casually with denim, a black polo neck and statement jewellery.
In excellent vintage condition with no discernible flaws, this is a rare, standout piece that embodies Jean Muir’s ability to balance artistry and wearability.
