The Bénédicte design is the first exterior garment I propose to you! Elegant, refined, intemporal, it will become an indispensable piece of your wardrobe. It is a trench coat, with a belt around the waist, with a lovely reversed box pleat in the back, that we can wear buttoned-up till the neckline or open. Once wear, its vintage inspired cut will give you an elegant look with no effort. As you can sew it as a mid-seasons trench-coat of as a wintery coat, it will allow you to vary your projects. Happily interpret it as seasons goes by!
