Interrupting the thread of monochromatic woolens and cashmere pieces at Céline’s FW 2013 show was a series of garments that featured a highly specific tartan pattern commonly seen on nylon checkered bags used for storing laundry or flea market goods.

The standout in this series was this trapeze coat made in lightweight woven jacquard fabric. Céline implements the tartan pattern with remarkable accuracy to the original bags. The fabric is designed to display the bags' colorways on both sides of the jacquard, with the exterior in red, and the reverse side in black.

Cut to an oversized fit, this open coat has three-quarter-length sleeves, inseam side pockets, and a martingale belt on the back with buttons covered in orange mink fur. The coat is constructed in such a way that the bias-bound seams are on the outside, creating a flat, almost 2D look that makes the coat appear as though it is assembled from the bags themselves.

This effort in elevating the mundane results in a garment that feels familiar as it is visually provocative. Since its debut, the coat has become a widely recognized and highly collectible piece, greatly synonymous with both the collection it is a part of and Phoebe Philo's tenure at Céline.
