FW23’s Most Coveted Winter Coats: Why Nour Hammour Is The Name To Know

A winter coat from the Parisian brand that is a firm favorite among the style set really is the ultimate investment piece – one that you will wear with pride and cherish forever

Fashion

It is difficult to single out one piece of clothing that is capable of doing all the heavy lifting in your fall wardrobe. There’s a compelling case for a great pair of jeans, sleek knee-high boots and, of course, a little black dress. However, a luxurious, hard-working coat always makes for a formidable contender in the does-it-all closet. And coats don’t come more luxurious – or hard-working – than those created by Nour Hammour, the Parisian label that is new to NET-A-PORTER this season. Over the past ten years, this boutique brand has quietly forged a name for itself with its elevated outerwear, consisting of beautiful pieces that are enticing cocktails of classic and contemporary – which is why Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Dakota Johnson and Hailey Bieber are all firm Nour Hammour fans. And it’s not hard to see why: throw on a leather trench, shearling-lined jacket or faux-fur maxi coat, and the rest is simple.

Launched in Paris in 2013, the Nour Hammour story began with a leather moto jacket manufactured in a small, family-run atelier in Paris’s Le Marais district. The brand’s bespoke roots are echoed in its meticulous attention to detail in every piece and every collection. And although its offerings have expanded and evolved in the past decade, the essence and ethos of Nour Hammour has remained consistent: to make considered collections that empower and elevate – by women, for women.

Today, production is split between Paris and a female-led workshop in Istanbul that puts the same emphasis on craft and design. Prioritizing style over trends, each Nour Hammour coat is designed to be loved and worn forever. Future heirloom pieces that only get better with age, the intention is that (one day) you’ll pass them on to someone else.

The new collection has all the classic appeal that the brand is known for, blending sexiness and sophistication in an enduring – and irresistible – power pairing. Pieces to note this season include the ‘Sonja’, a commanding maxi leather trench with a neat, belted waist. In patchwork cream, black and brown leather, it’s at once timeless yet of-the-moment. Or how about the origin-story piece: a moto jacket? Cut for a gently oversized silhouette, cropped at the waist and croc-embossed, the ‘Hatti’ sums up why Nour Hammour is one of the most exciting names to know. There’s also the shearling lined ‘Nyla’ bomber in cognac suede – and in the same fabrics, the signature ‘Birthday’ coat. A full-length blanket style, this pared-back design is beloved for its versatility and polished practicality; not only is it reversible, but the minimal lines make it effortlessly adaptable.

Classic, cozy and cool? Maybe you really can have it all…
