The Selina Wool Cape in Black is an architectural long-fiber wool cape in deep saturated black, finished with concealed arm openings, a single back seam, and a full Bemberg lining. It is built as the sculptural alternative to a coat for women on the formal arrival circuit, with the cape silhouette moving with full-length evening garments without flattening them.

Fabric
Long-fiber wool at 480 grams per square meter, handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia. The 480 GSM weight gives the cape the body to hold its architectural drape across arrival, cocktail hour, and coat check. The deep saturated black photographs cleanly under chandelier and restaurant lighting. The single back seam construction is hand-finished to hold the sculptural drape from shoulder to hem. Full Bemberg lining at the body and concealed arm openings.

Fit
True to size with the cape silhouette accommodating tailored blazers and structured evening dresses underneath. The concealed arm openings sit at the natural shoulder line and accommodate the sleeve of a blazer or long-sleeve dress. The midi length sits at or just below the knee. Between sizes, choose the smaller for closer drape across the shoulders or the larger for additional sweep at the hem. See the Luna sizing guide for measurement specifications. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
For black tie weddings and charity galas, drape over the Aria Jumpsuit in Black or the Jody Lace Jumpsuit in Black for a sculptural arrival silhouette.
For mother of the bride at a winter formal wedding, pair over the Jody Lace A-Line Dress in Bordeaux for tonal evening richness.
For theater and opera evenings, the cape drapes cleanly over the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Black with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black.
For New Year's Eve and milestone formal evenings, the cape carries the entire silhouette; the Julia Evening Clutch Bag in Yellow adds the single color note the look needs.
Avoid shoulder bags under the cape; they catch the cape line.
Hold one metal tone across earrings, bracelet, ring, and clutch hardware.

Care
Dry clean only, once per season for moderate wear. Brush wool after every wear with a stiff-bristle clothes brush to lift surface dust. Store hung on a wide padded hanger; avoid folding, which creates a permanent crease at the back seam. Steam to refresh after travel; do not iron directly. Cedar bags during off-season storage.
