Product Details

A magnificent fusion of couture tailoring and West African textile heritage, the VERA Trench in black shimmer is designed for unforgettable entrances. Crafted from rich black Kente cloth subtly woven with light-catching shimmer threads, this long coat delivers a dramatic silhouette anchored by romantic, hand-cut scalloped hems along the edges.

Delicate, light-reflecting rhinestone details are hand-applied across the coat, adding an extra layer of evening sparkle to its structured frame. Inside, the coat reveals a luxurious contrast: a full lining of fluid, hand-dyed batik fabric that flashes vibrant color and traditional pattern with every step. Measuring approximately 125 cm in length, it offers a sweeping, high-fashion profile perfect for red carpet and gala layering.

Handmade in Togo by master artisans, each VERA Trench honors slow fashion and traditional craftsmanship—ensuring every garment carries its own unique, artisanal soul.
