Things I Covet: Vaute Couture coats

Gorgeous vegan winter coats that are warm enough for a Chicago winter and cute enough to wear in public?

Love. Love. LOVE.

From Vaute Couture:

Leanne Mai-ly Hilgart is Founder of Vaute Couture, the first and only winter coat line on the market that is at once warm enough for a Chicago winter, chic, and completely conscientious (vegan, eco, and ethically produced.) 

She spent a year developing the line, and after 8 months of fabric research for a vegan alternative to wool that was slim & pretty but ready for a Chicago winter, ended up with a brand new technology fabric that is wind/snow resistant, designed to retain heat, and completely recyclable and vegan, lined in a windproof 100% recycled closed loop zero waste ripstop.
