The Field of Fragments Coat N Tote

Constructed from a vintage quilted fabric, it belongs to a lineage of resource-driven design, where fabric was not discarded but reassembled. Across generations of American women, and particularly within Black domestic history, quilting functioned as both survival practice and visual authorship. Improvised geometry, varied cloth weights, and layered pattern collisions formed an aesthetic language rooted in memory rather than perfection.Each panel within this piece retains its original variation in tone and texture, preserving the integrity of the quilt’s lived composition. Reconstructed into the Coat N Tote silhouette, the textile shifts from bed covering to wearable archive, transforming seamlessly into a carry form through its convertible structure. Finished with a pink zipper. 

Fabric Weight: Medium

Mood: Archival, Improvised, Structural

**Our unique art pieces are meticulously crafted from carefully sourced vintage fabrics collected globally, each carrying its own history and individuality. Because of the nature of vintage materials, subtle variations in color, texture, or print placement may occur and should be embraced as part of the garment’s character. No two items are the same, ensuring every piece remains truly one of one.

Embodying a boxy, oversized aesthetic with unisex appeal, our designs reflect a central tenet of the brand. Remember, these are coats first and totes to carry your coat second. Prior to completing your purchase, we strongly recommend reviewing the information provided in our Customer Service Tab.**
