EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures a piece of history in the form of a motoring coat from 1910. Made by David Kemp & Son in Scotland, Glasgow, this elegant coat is crafted from wool, silk, and mother-of-pearl. The light cream color of the coat is complemented by a small collar faced with red silk velvet and double-tiered shoulder collar attached below.
The attention to detail in this garment is truly remarkable - from the double-breasted fastening at the front with six large mother-of-pearl buttons to the full-length sleeves and skirt. This woman's coat exudes sophistication and style, reflecting the fashion trends of the early 20th century.
As we admire this piece of costume history, we are transported back in time to an era when motoring was a luxury reserved for only a few. The craftsmanship and quality materials used in creating this coat speak volumes about the dedication to excellence that David Kemp & Son were known for.
This print serves as a reminder of how fashion can be both functional and beautiful, capturing not just clothing but also a moment in time. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of vintage fashion and its ability to inspire us even today.
