Farewell, but never goodbye, Woodsmoke.
Among the many blessings that came from our recent gatherings in New Mexico was watching Woodsmoke find her forever muse.
There is something wonderfully enduring about this long duster. Woodsmoke begins with the familiar language of classic style, the long, graceful line of a timeless coat, the warmth of earthy neutrals, the kind of silhouette a woman could reach for year after year after year.
And then, as only SuKaz would, she takes that familiarity somewhere entirely unexpected.
Contrasting shades of richly patterned poly suede bring depth and movement to her etched paisley and blooming roses. Inside, a wash of silk charmeuse satin reveals flowers against the softest peach. And down the back, an original ribbonwork art panel by emerges like a secret garden, an exquisite little interruption of color, handwork and joy.
That is the beauty of Woodsmoke.
She feels established, but never conventional.
Timeless, but never predictable.
Classic, but unmistakably modern.
She will never become another coat in the closet. She is the kind of piece a woman can live with for decades, wearing her differently through changing seasons and changing years, while the jacket herself remains entirely beyond trend.
We have wondered for some time who Woodsmoke would eventually belong to.
Now we know she has found her.
And perhaps one day, somewhere down the road, we will be lucky enough to see a photograph of her being worn and loved by the woman who chose her. There is something especially sweet about seeing these pieces begin the part of their story that belongs entirely to someone else.
So, farewell, beautiful Woodsmoke.
Never goodbye.
Your story simply continues with her.
Where the dream begins and the story ends with you.
