A Letter From Rose
The Winter Coat That Feels Like a Warm Blanket
Soft sherpa inside, easy toggles outside, and room for your favorite sweater. Here's why the Noemi won me over.
Every winter, the women who come into our boutique tell me the same two things. "I'm always cold." And: "I hate my winter coat."
Because the warm ones are heavy and puffy and make you look like you're wrapped in a sleeping bag. The pretty ones are thin and let the wind straight through. And the zippers and tiny buttons are a fight every morning, especially with cold fingers.
I think a winter coat should feel like a warm hug, and still look lovely when you walk into a restaurant.
I want to be honest with you: I didn't design the Noemi. Olivia and I started out as fashion designers in Italy, but these days we hand-pick the pieces for our boutique. After a lifetime in fashion, I can tell within seconds whether a piece is made with care, and most go straight back.
The moment I slipped my arms into this one, I knew it was staying. It reminded me of the duffle coats we wore as girls by the lake. Here's why.
It feels like wrapping up in a warm blanket
Open the Noemi and the first thing you see is the lining: thick, soft, plush sherpa, all the way through and around the hood. It feels like pulling a cozy blanket around your shoulders on a chilly morning.
★★★★★"I'm 64 and get cold so easily these days. The soft sherpa lining feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket. I love how warm and comfortable it feels, especially on chilly mornings. It's exactly what I was looking for!"

Easy to fasten, even with cold fingers
No tiny buttons and no stubborn zipper. The Noemi closes with classic horn-style toggles on rope loops, big enough to grab easily, even with cold hands or fingers that aren't as nimble as they used to be.
★★★★★"My fingers aren't as nimble as they used to be, and I struggle with tiny buttons and stubborn zippers. The large toggle closures on this coat are so much easier to manage, even when my hands are cold. Such a thoughtful design!"

A roomy hood that keeps you cozy
So many of us skip the winter hat because it flattens our hair. The Noemi's hood is wonderfully roomy and lined with the same soft sherpa, so you can simply pull it up when the wind picks up, and let it fall back when you step inside.
★★★★★"I've always hated wearing winter hats because they flatten my hair. The hood on this coat is wonderfully roomy, and the soft lining makes it feel so cozy around my head. Perfect for those cold, windy days when I'm out walking."
Ramona C., Bangor, ME
Plenty of room for your favorite sweater
This is the part Olivia checked first. A winter coat that pulls across your shoulders the moment you wear a thick sweater is no good to anyone. The Noemi has a relaxed fit that falls past the hip, so there's room for a chunky knit underneath and you can move your arms freely.
★★★★★"I'm 61 and can't stand coats that pull across my shoulders when I wear a thick sweater. This one has such a comfortable, relaxed fit. I can move my arms freely, and the longer length covers my hips beautifully."
Marilyn P., Casper, WY
Warm, without looking like a ski jacket
The outside has a soft suede look, and with the classic toggles and the sherpa cuffs, it looks timeless and put together, not sporty. Warm enough for a winter walk, and lovely enough to wear out shopping or to lunch.
★★★★★"I wanted a warm winter coat that still looked nice enough to wear shopping or out for lunch. The suede-like finish and classic toggles make this one look so much more polished than a sporty puffer. It feels cozy but still looks elegant."
Virginia S., Lancaster, OH
Made for the body you have today, in eight colors
We carry the Noemi from XS all the way to 7XL, in eight colors, from olive green and khaki to navy, black and soft pink. My advice: check the size chart before you order and think about what you'll wear underneath. And if it isn't right, you have 30 days to send it back.
★★★★"I'm 67 and wear a 4XL, so finding winter coats that are both pretty and comfortable is difficult. I followed the size chart and was so pleased with the fit. There's room for layering without feeling restricted. I'm very happy I gave it a try!"
Dolores W., Amarillo, TX
The Noemi, against the winter coats you usually find
Why it's only $69.95 right now
After nearly 45 years in America, Olivia and I have decided it's time to retire from the boutique and spend more time with our husbands, our children and our grandchildren here in Florida.
The Noemi is part of our final collection. When a size or color is gone, we won't be restocking it. So instead of carrying it into another season, we're saying goodbye to it with our Retirement Sale.

I don't usually write letters like this. But after a lifetime in fashion, I know when a piece is worth telling you about. If you're always the one who's cold, I hope you find your size and color before it's gone.
Thank you for giving two Italian sisters a home, a community and a lifetime of memories here in Florida.
With love, Rose 🤍
