Lot Description
Ralph Rucci Pieced Sable Coat with a Smoothed and Blackened Suede Exterior, 2014
Featured on the runway for Fall 2014, this coat is made of Russian sable pelts sewn together with the seams exposed. The suede side of the pelts have been worked to a smooth surface and painted black, forming the exterior of the coat, which is cinched with a braided leather belt. Rucci often relies on inspiration as esoteric and wide-ranging as Mongolian aesthetics and deep space, yet remains grounded in luxurious wearability.
Pieced blackened suede coat with natural Barguzine sable, exaggerated shawl collar, flip back cuffed sleeves, and decorative leather tie details and braided leather belt.
