A SERAPHIN black leather mouton half coat, estimated from the 1990s.
SERAPHIN is a leather specialist factory brand established in 1975 by Henri-Georges Zaks in Paris, France.
It operates from a historic workshop on the Quai de Valmy in France, where leather tanners and craftsmen have worked since the Napoleonic era, employing traditional artisanal techniques.
Today, all production takes place along the Canal St. Martin in Paris, with 74 skilled artisans working in a traditional leather workshop. Approximately 70% of production is dedicated to the SERAPHIN brand itself, with the remainder serving third-party clients.
SERAPHIN is known for meticulous French craftsmanship in every detail, finishing a diverse range of materials to the highest standards.
The brand's quality is so highly regarded that HERMES, the pinnacle of luxury maisons, entrusts SERAPHIN with their entire leather goods production—testament to the extraordinary calibre of their work.
We present a black leather mouton half coat from SERAPHIN.
A meticulously crafted French piece. Executed through traditional artisanal patterning and construction, this coat employs the finest leather available—a garment of exceptional refinement.
Exceptionally restrained in its details, this specimen allows the quality of the material to speak for itself.
It carries an unmistakable presence that sets it apart from the ordinary.
The front closure features button fastening.
Large flap pockets at the hem provide practical capacity for light items.
A brand label from the late 1990s is present in the interior pocket.
The half-coat length—neither too short nor too long—renders the weight of black without heaviness, striking a precise balance.
Possessing a suppleness and lightness that seem improbable for genuine leather, this coat offers remarkably effortless wear. Many hesitate before leather pieces due to stiffness, but this specimen dispels such concerns entirely.
Though substantial in character, the fabric remains soft and unburdensome, inviting casual layering over a turtleneck or tailored jacket—worn loose and unforced appears most compelling.
Size marked as "54"
This corresponds roughly to Japanese XL to XXL.
The actual measurements confirm a generous fit, accommodating larger frames without constraint.
Signs of use are present—color variation, fading, minor soiling, and button wear—yet no significant damage impairs wear. The coat remains entirely serviceable.
SERAPHIN, the leather factory brand recognised even by HERMES. It produces pieces of the calibre one expects from a lifetime garment.
