This Winter, Lindsey Berns combines her one-of-a-kind antique patchwork quilts with luxurious off-white shearling to create these covetable and cozy handmade pieces. This vest is hand-crafted from a beautiful monochromatic quilt circa 1910 featuring French kitchen plaids, checks and ginghams in blues, creams and browns. Style details include a strong-cut exaggerated shoulder, deep roomy armholes, a lengthened hemline and low-slung pockets. The faux shearling looks and feels like the real thing - made from the highest quality heathered yarn, slightly curled at the ends with a silky finish. The look is equally chic belted at the waist or worn loose and layered. The Shearling Quilt Gilet is delicious to the touch, luxurious to wear and ultimately feels like a warm, gushy hug! *Please note: Lindsey Berns works exclusively with authentic antique cutter quilts that inherently have a vintage patina. Subtle wear, tear, discoloration, fading and fraying is an intentional part of the design, and adds to the overall charm, originality and uniqueness of every piece.
