Brera Black Blue ZZ: Where Montreal’s winter elegance meets urban sophistication

This is not just a coat—it’s a statement piece designed for those who refuse to compromise between warmth and style. The Brera Black Blue ZZ by Nicole Benisti blends the sleek resilience of nylon with the luxurious touch of lambskin leather, creating a hybrid that stands up to the harshest winters while keeping you effortlessly chic. With its mid-length silhouette, this coat wraps you in a cocoon of down and fur, yet its sharp tailoring ensures you never lose that urban edge.

A fusion of textures, built for the city

The Brera plays with contrasts: the smooth, water-resistant nylon exterior meets the buttery softness of lambskin leather on the sleeves, shoulders, and hood. These leather accents aren’t just decorative—they reinforce high-wear areas, adding durability without sacrificing elegance. The hood itself is a masterpiece of functionality, lined with removable rabbit fur and trimmed with fox fur, both detachable via zips. Whether you’re braving a snowstorm or stepping into a downtown café, you control the level of insulation.

Warmth without bulk

Inside, a blend of 90% duck down and 10% feathers provides lightweight, breathable warmth—ideal for Montreal’s sub-zero temperatures. The fitted cut, adjustable drawstrings, and zippered hems let you seal in heat or loosen up as needed. With seven external pockets (including one on the sleeve), you’ve got plenty of space for gloves, a phone, or a transit pass, all within easy reach. This is a coat designed for movement, whether you’re rushing to a meeting or strolling through the Old Port.
