Vintage 1950s 1960s Lord & Taylor / Lawrence of London Hooded Velvet Trench Coat

This stunning vintage coat from the late 1950s to early 1960s is a luxurious piece of fashion history, styled by Lawrence of London and sold at the iconic Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue. The coat is made from rich fuchsia velvet, lined with “Millium” fabric — a lightweight, insulated lining patented in the mid-20th century to provide warmth without bulk. The silhouette is loose and flowing with wide sleeves, a dramatic oversized hood, and a button closure at the neckline. The coat drapes beautifully and fits a range of sizes due to its free waist and hip design. Perfect for layering over evening wear, it has a glamorous Old Hollywood look.

Lord & Taylor was one of America’s oldest luxury department stores, established in 1826, and by midcentury its Fifth Avenue flagship was a hub for high-end fashion. Lawrence of London specialized in women’s coats and outerwear during the 1950s–70s, known for their stylish, durable designs often sold through upscale retailers. The collaboration with Millium lining added prestige and functionality.
