DUNDEE RAINCOAT

-

Designer Kerrie Alexander has joined forces with textile company Halley Stevensons to create a raincoat for the Victoria & Albert (V&A) Museum’s Dundee outpost. The raincoat, produced under the designer’s KerrieALDO fashion label, is made using waterproof waxed cotton, a fabric Halley Stevensons pioneered more than 150 years ago and which it continues to manufactur­e at its Baltic Works factory in Dundee. Each of the 20 numbered raincoats and matching bags were hand-cut and crafted using unique patterns created for the collaborat­ion. The coat was priced at £200, while the matching bag was £45, and went on sale in the V&A Dundee’s shop. kerriealdo.com
