Falling orange leaves, pumpkins in all shapes and varieties, the air is getting colder, and the breeze is freezing: November is almost here. Time to make your coats ready to be prepared for winter!
I always find it challenging to find a new coat that is exactly like I imagine it to be. What’s in the shops is either the wrong colour, or shape or sold out in my size. A tragedy!
Sumisurra offers a very excellent alternative: You can now order your coat made to measure. You choose the fabric, the style, lining, and you can even have your monogram stitched on the lining (or your name or favourite word).
With Sumisurra, you can design your coat online whenever you feel inspired. It’s also a sustainable way to shop: With this process, Sumisurra only produces what has been ordered and is gonna be worn by you amazing people. Besides coats, you can customise a range of other items, such as shoes, dresses, suits and trousers.
I wanted to have a red riding hood coat for ages, just without a hood. I went for an indigo-blue quilted lining to keep me extra warm. If I am outside, I want to feel good and cosy. I love as well that my name is on my coat and with all my clothes had this sweet detail. If I ever pass it on, somebody might buy it in a vintage shop and wonder who Sara was.
I feel warm in my beautiful red wool coat, so I play with the pumpkins and feel at peace with my roots of being a girl from the countryside. Recently I have felt those vibes very strongly, and I happily jump for folklore-inspired pieces from different countries. My skirt and top are Hungarian-inspired, and the scarf is Portuguese. I love the colours of all the folklore art, the romantic touch and the instant feeling of cinematic moments.
People on the street ask me what event I’m going to, and I answer that this is just my life. Why wait for an event if you can be the event?
