Yesterday we looked at some of Mad Carpentier's day wear. Now let's look at some of their coats. Mad Carpentier coats were an important part of their business and were especially prone to being copied. The two designers love of volume and draping is in display in many of the examples. The house produced both winter coats and special occasion examples.
