The unique story behind your coat:
This piece begins in the charming village of La Varenne–Saint-Hilaire in France, where we sourced a beautiful reversible wool blanket from the 1960s, purchased from Ms. Manou. A rare find in warm yellow and cream tones, it features subtle floral motifs and exquisite original edging. Both sides of the blanket were thoughtfully incorporated into the final design, and you can still see the finished edges showcased in the hem, sleeves, and pockets.
Yellow holds a special meaning for us… it is the colour of hope, joy, and sunlight. 💛
The coat is fully lined with a deadstock quilted fabric, while the vintage buttons were sourced at a Saturday flea market in Utrecht. The total cost of raw materials was approximately €115.
Craftsmanship is central to this piece.
Katerina carefully mended and hand-washed the blanket, drafted the pattern, deconstructed the material, and cut each panel.
Yasar, in our partner atelier, completed the sewing with exceptional skill.
The hand-sewn button loops were made by Katerina, adding the final artisanal touch.
We hope you find this story meaningful. The fabric you are wearing carries more than 60 years of history, now refreshed, preserved, and transformed for you. Wrap yourself in its warmth, enjoy it for years, and one day pass it on with your own story into it.
With love (and flowers),
The FC Team

Styling Tip: The coat has a collar with a bow tie/small scarf around the neckline to give you more warmth. The coat is a M fit, so if you like oversized fits, it is best to layer turtlenecks or thin blouses underneath. Wear it with skirts or jeans and brightly coloured tights or socks.

From Upcycled Collection : The “Yellow Creme” *wool blanket as raw material and process.
*100% wool blanket: “Not all wool can be called “pure new wool”. Only the directly processed, first shearing of healthy living sheep receives this name. Unlike regular wool, the fibers have a natural shine. Pure new wool is a wonderful product. Comfortable; on the one hand it maintains body temperature and on the other hand it is permeable to moisture. It regulates the ambient temperature. Environmentally friendly; it is biodegradable and it is a raw material that grows again in nature. Safe; it is flame retardant, antistatic and does not dry out. Durable; it lasts a long time while maintaining its appearance.”
