Lucido coat, $1,800.00, Item 96559
In soft, shiny Italian patent leather, this glamorous jacket is a singular statement piece. We’ve lined it with a dramatic print from our favorite couture mill, so it’s Italian through and through. Generous A-line fit. Deep V-neck. Elbow sleeves. Interior piping. Fully lined. Falls to low hip. Part of the J.Crew Collection. Import. Spot clean.
I spotted the Lucido coat on J.Crew’s website and wondered what this piece of garment actually was. At $1800.00, it looks like a rather expensive rain coat. However, the coat is made of patent leather so it should not be worn out in the rain at all. The shiny material looks just like PVC. If the coat came in black, it would look very gothic.
It’s part of the J.Crew Collection and will be available in some stores.
I am just wondering what J.Crew was thinking when they created this coat. Who is the customer that they are trying to reach?

Maybe like something people get voted off “Project Runway” for making, also comes to mind, vs an item presumably designed by Jenna and co…..
