- The Nature of Curled Fur

Since its inception, leinwände has been committed to exploring the possibilities of faux fur, creating textures that capture the natural appearance and rich expression of an animal’s coat without using real fur, while offering a softness and comfort that feel at home in everyday life.

For this season, we selected a faux fur distinguished by its naturally curled texture, guided by this long-standing philosophy.
Inspired by the Kerry Hill sheep, a breed native to Wales, the material is characterized by its organic texture and soft, gentle appearance.

While both outerwear pieces are made from the same fur, each features a different construction on the reverse and a pattern tailored to its individual silhouette.
Here, we explore the thoughtful details behind each design and how they bring out the unique qualities of the material.

For the first time this season, we introduce an ivory colorway, choosing a faux fur with naturally curled fibers and irregular clusters to create a rich, nuanced expression within the soft white tone.

As the pile varies in length, the longer strands absorb the dye slightly differently, resulting in a lighter shade than the rest.
These subtle irregularities bring depth and softness to the color, creating a rich expression even within a single tone.

In addition, the reverse construction of each piece has been carefully considered to preserve the natural volume of the fur while balancing lightness, warmth, and a refined silhouette.

Kerry Fur Blouson

Based on the pattern of the brand's signature fur jacket, this blouson features voluminous sleeves with curved lines that create a soft, rounded silhouette.

While making a statement through its volume, the three-dimensional shape is carefully balanced to avoid an overly oversized appearance.

In developing the pattern, particular attention was paid to ensuring a comfortable fit that allows for layering over chunky knits and hoodies without adding excessive bulk, making it as easy to wear as a down jacket.

The front is kept clean and streamlined, while the back features a softly rounded volume, creating a balanced silhouette that makes the most of the fur's rich texture.

Through repeated toile fittings, the proportions between the front and back were carefully refined to achieve a balance of dimension and everyday wearability.

A thin sheet of padding is incorporated into the reverse to enhance warmth while keeping the overall thickness to a minimum.
Rather than using a bonding process, this construction was chosen to achieve a balance of lightness and insulation.
Areas prone to added bulk, such as the front placket and collar, are intentionally left unpadded, with careful adjustments made to prevent an overly bulky appearance.

Combining the rich texture of the fur with a lightweight feel that makes it effortless to wear, this piece brings together both qualities in one design.

Kerry Fur Tailored Coat

A collared, mid-length coat with a preppy mood reminiscent of a classic pea coat.
Based on the structure of a double-breasted tailored jacket, the design is reimagined through the soft, expressive texture of faux fur.

The rich volume of the fur is balanced by clean, structured collar lines and petite flap pockets, creating an elegant and feminine impression.
The neckline subtly frames the décolletage, while the length allows it to be styled almost like a mini dress.

To maintain the shape of the collar and the overall silhouette, a lightweight faux suede is bonded to selected areas of the reverse.
This technique preserves the softness of the fur while preventing the collar from losing its shape or the design's contours from becoming obscured by the volume of the material.

However, applying the treatment throughout the entire garment would add excessive thickness to the front placket and create unwanted bulk. For this reason, the bonding is applied only where needed.
Even in details that remain unseen from the outside, thoughtful techniques are incorporated to maintain the integrity of the silhouette.

A piece that brings together the soft presence of fur and the refined elegance of tailored design.
Offering a different mood from the blouson, it lends itself to more understated and sophisticated styling.

Different Expressions of the Same Material

Two distinct outerwear pieces, both crafted from the same faux fur.

Beyond the character of the material itself, each design features carefully considered reverse construction and pattern adjustments, creating distinct silhouettes and wearing experiences.

In addition, the Kerry Fur Shorts are also available in the same faux fur material.

With an organic texture reminiscent of natural fleece and a lightweight feel suited to everyday wear, each piece reflects thoughtful attention to detail. Discover the unique character of both designs.
