Something New for Fall

Carter has been designing shibori dyed embroidered silk coats for many years.  This fall however he's purchased some fantastic new fabrics which add a wonderful unique energy to this effort. These coats are an artistic labor of love.  With a full day in the dye studio, followed up by fifteen+ hours of skilled sewing there is no way to  monetarily recapture the energy that goes into these beautiful works of art.  This is the first of a few new fabrics that Carter has purchased for the embroidered coats, check back as we will be posting more as they are made.

If you have any interest in purchasing one of these lovely coats a custom order through your favorite boutique is a great option.  Due to the demand for these pieces we are often in low supply.

Does your favorite boutique not carry Carter Smith Designs?  If you would like to make a purchase through a shop not on our list please let us know and we will do our best to work with any boutique or gallery to accommodate you.
This is the first of these coats completed which walked in Boston Fashion Week.
