the swacket

Long overdue, here are the many ways to wear the Swacket (although really, there are endless possibilities).







When Zana first started posting about Harputs Market's new clothing like, Harputs Own, I was immediately smitten. The idea of creating a line of perfected, versatile statement pieces that will last a lifetime in your wardrobe is well, perfect. And being a huge fan of garments that can be worn multiple ways, I fell in love with the swacket and knew I had to get my hands on one. When it arrived in the mail, it was nothing less than what I expected. I spent a good hour playing around with the different ways to wear it and parading around in front of the mirror. Haha.

Definitely check out the other Harputs Own pieces here. I've got a huge crush on the leather dress.

I love it. It's perhaps one of the most brilliant pieces I've yet seen.

And dayum girl, your legs!! If only I had mild long legs like yours!

Bisous,

Wow, it´s amazing! My jaw dropped :)

Anonymous said...

Absolutely lovely! I wish it came in sizes, this whole "one size" thing makes me think that it would be too long for my 5'1" height. It'd go past my knees and make me look even shorter, unfortunately. Damn!

Fee. said...

gorgeous coat! love your blog btw x

Between said...

Awesome piece!!!!

Becca Jane said...

this looks amazing! it's fabulous.

TheMinx said...

Ah, I really like the way it can be worn with the hood and the criss-crossed layers. It's so drapey and perfect :)

Sara said...

i love the way your heels appear to be different widths from the back front and side.
i also love the swacket.
i like it worn in the cropped ways better.
also the first classic open look
although its never really practical for me to wear jackets open.. pretty useless really, especially in the frosty old UK!

Champagne said...

Ooo swackets, its like one of those swize army knifes. But as something you can wear. If that makes any sense.

lyn said...

I love the structure of it. :)
It looks fabulous on you.

deltay said...

Whoa - so versatile! Love it.

Those shoes make your legs look absolutely ah-mazing too!

xo

jamie clare said...

any piece that's convertible is worth its dollar amount! i love it. and i thought a black jacket was versatile on its own...haha. if i had only known!

citizenKane said...

if only i had your legs!!!


gosh, how do you survive in those shoes?!

tofuscloset said...

i love it!! the pic of you wearing it with it as a hood is amazing!!! btw, your legs are GORG!!!!

surimay said...

modishglut said...

it's one of those statement pieces that you can wear at daytime and just with a little tweaking and some mild juxtaposing, you can instantly turn indespensably chic for cocktails. i love love love it!you nailed it! :) it's really sensible to pile on stuffs like these, eh? with recession on rampage. such wardrobe staple is responisble and reasonable. i died over your wardrobe reserviors! :)

Lindsay said...

Marina said...

Valencia Lia said...

Hey girl !! Just curious . What brand and model of sewing machine do you use ?

tobaccoandleather said...

As if you need another comment telling you how wonderful that coat is, but my god i am so intrigued by it! i would sadly be messing about with it for hours. i especially love it in the top right picture and with the hood. What a clever piece of design!

This is a little off topic, but a couple posts back you were talking about your etsy store. I think it'd be a cool idea for you to post your own guide to etsy/online store.
