TRIGERE, New York, Bergdorf Goodman On the Plaza, New York Pauline
Trigere Muted Plaid Wool Cape with High Collar Back!
Can't really call this a hooded cape unless you have a pea head!
:) I just raised the back of the collar as you can see how
high it goes... like an Edwardian collar! Lovely almost
muted red, green and white plaid wool. Closes with a short
tie at front neck and a couple of fur-type hooks. The arms
go through the holes, but the holes also have button tabs to
close if you just decide to toss this over your shoulders.
The inside lining is a green wool to help keep you toasty.
The condition of the exterior is Excellent. The moths,
however, got to the green lining (see photos). Luckily
they didn't like the taste of the plaid! And the hooks at front
would need to be re-stitched in place. A nice early piece of
Trigere. Her version of "Little Red Riding Hood"...
oh, and certainly Pauline Trigere's checked coat/cape was special enough to be
used for Patricia Neal's character in the classic movie, "Breakfast
at Tiffany's".
