Black Knee Length Coat with Faux Fur Collar, Paula

The Paula Textured Coat with Faux Fur Collar and Cuffs in Black is a knee-length coat in a textured botanical viscose with a faux fur shawl collar and faux fur cuffs, single-breasted with 1 ornamental button over a hidden placket, and fully lined in Bemberg. It is built for holiday parties, charity galas, opera and theater arrivals, and the December calendar where 1 coat carries the whole season.

Fabric
Textured botanical viscose with the texture woven in, faux fur collar and cuffs in tonal black, a hidden placket that keeps the textured front unbroken, 2 welt pockets, a single back vent, and hand-finished interior seams. Viscose is a botanical fiber regenerated from sustainable wood pulp; the Paula uses it for 3 things wool cannot do for evening outerwear: a deeper black that holds across hundreds of wearings, a fluid drape that moves with you, and a soft sheen that photographs under restaurant and gala lighting where flat wool reads matte. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Paula runs slightly generous; most clients take their usual size, and those between sizes take the smaller. Size up if you prefer more ease through the shoulder or plan to wear it over a heavier evening piece. Single-breasted hidden placket, 2 welt pockets. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 2. The length is 42” from the back of the neck to the hem on a size 2.

Styling
Over the Aria Jumpsuit in Black with satin strappy heels for a black on black gala arrival, the textured coat against the clean bodice.
Over the Lucy Jacquard Midi Dress in Midnight Blue for the holiday week with several events, the coat reading as a neutral against the jacquard.
Or over the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Bordeaux for warm against cool across the December calendar.
Carried with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black for evening dressing in 1 depth of black.
With the Melissa Structured Shoulder Bag for theater and opera arrivals, a structured bag against the volume of the coat.
Or over the Charlotte Elegant Midi Dress for fuchsia and black at restaurant arrivals and benefit evenings.
Keep the metal tone consistent: silver and onyx read modern against the textured black; gold shifts the look warmer, toward the traditional gala.

Care
Textured botanical viscose with faux fur collar and cuffs and full Bemberg lining. Dry clean only. Brush the body of the coat after every wear. Faux fur: wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Store the fur cuffs upright in tissue, never crushed. Cedar bags during summer storage. Steam or iron on low if needed. Do not bleach.

What to wear it over

The Paula ends at or just above the knee, 42 inches measured from the back of the neck on a size 2, with a slight flare and a concealed front held by a single ornamental button. It covers cocktail dresses that end at the knee, and over an ankle length gown the gown skirt shows below the knee. Faux fur at the collar and the cuffs frames the Navy Off-Shoulder Maxi Gown, Iris and the Burgundy Off-Shoulder Metallic Gown, Alis ($770 each), and the Pozarevac atelier that makes the coat makes both gowns. Either gown with the Paula comes to $1,540.

Questions buyers ask about the Paula faux fur collar coat

How does the Paula coat fit, and what size does the model wear?

The Paula runs a little generous, so most women order their usual size. If you fall between sizes, take the smaller one, or size up for more room over a heavier dress. Our model is 5 foot 9 and wears a size 2, where the coat measures 42 inches from the back of the neck, and the Luna sizing guide has every measurement.

What is the Paula coat made of, and how do I care for it?

The body is a textured botanical viscose with faux fur at the collar and cuffs, fully lined in Bemberg. The coat is dry clean only, and a quick brush after each evening keeps the texture clean. For the faux fur, wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap, let it air dry, and store the cuffs upright in tissue.

What do I wear with the Paula coat, and where can I wear it?

The Paula ends near the knee, so it closes neatly over a knee length dress or a jumpsuit for a gala or a holiday party. The Jody Burgundy Lace Cocktail Dress ($550) puts deep wine against the black fur, and the Aria Black Jumpsuit ($595) keeps it black on black for the opera. Our story on the coat with the faux fur collar shows it worn, and the Gala Outerwear collection has the other evening coats.

How fast does the Paula coat arrive, and can I return it?

Shipping is free within the US, and the Paula arrives in 2 to 5 days from our US warehouse. You have 30 days to return it with no questions asked, which leaves time to try it over your December dresses.
