Fabulous Late 1940s / Early 1950s Red Collarless Boucle Coat
Late 1940s / Early 1950s Red Bouclé Coat
This elegant red bouclé coat bridges the transition from the late 1940s into the early 1950s, capturing the shift from streamlined wartime tailoring to the softer, fuller silhouettes of the New Look era. Crafted in richly textured bouclé wool, the coat features a rounded neckline, fabric-covered buttons, and a swing-back cut that creates graceful movement.
Its three-quarter sleeves and flared hemline reflect the fashionable proportions of the period, while the bold red colour makes it a standout statement piece.
