CASSANDRA | BOHEMIAN ART COAT

The warmth of a winter coat, without the weight of one.

Meet the Cassandra — the coat people stop you about. Triangles and squares in coral, teal, magenta and gold are pieced across a cream ground like a quilt somebody spent a winter on, and the whole inside is lined in soft brushed fleece, collar to hem and down through the sleeves, so the warmth comes from the lining instead of from thickness. The hood is lined in that same fleece and left roomy, with a drawstring for the mornings that bite. And yes — it has pockets. Two of them, set into the front at hip height, deep enough for your phone, your keys and a pair of gloves at once. Lovingly offered by Vivian & Pearl Newport, a family-run boutique since 2006.

Why you'll love the Cassandra:

· A patchwork people ask about — pieced artwork in coral, teal, magenta and gold on cream, never a flat machine print.
· Fleece-lined all the way through — as warm as a heavy coat, and half the burden on your shoulders.
· A cozy hood that keeps the chill off — roomy, fleece-lined, with a drawstring to pull it close.
· Two deep front pockets — phone, keys and gloves at the same time, so you can leave the purse at home.
· Long enough to cover, easy enough to live in — it falls past the hip, hangs open in two clean lines, and never grips at the middle.
· True to size, S–4XL — cut generous on purpose, to fit the woman, not the other way around. Take one size up if you like a thick sweater underneath.
