Minquilla Faux Fur Swing Coat

Minquilla was a fur fabric trademark produced by Sisters, and this coat carries the label still stitched into the lining. The faux fur itself is a deep charcoal grey with lighter tipping through the pile, giving real depth and movement to the surface. A generous shawl collar sits soft against the neckline, and the coat closes with three buttons down the front, with turned-back cuffs finishing each sleeve.
The silhouette is a loose, swing-style cut that skims rather than fits, falling in a clean line from the shoulder to well below the knee. This is a coat built for warmth and presence in equal measure.
Wear it open over a simple knit and trousers for daytime ease, or belted over a slip dress for evening. A deep plum or forest green underneath makes the most of the grey, while cream or soft blush keeps things lighter.
