Sleeve at Salon C. Lundman's Paris showroom draws attention

In Paris’s Marais, at the Salon C. Lundman showroom, Jacob Gallagher wrote that a stout wool coat with an arcing sleeve stopped him cold. The label, started by Christoffer Lundman in 2023, is run by Lundman, 47, who Gallagher described as a particular sort of purist. Lundman keeps no archive and prefers to sketch new work each season; “It’s created quite instinctively,” Lundman said of his collection, adding, “I don’t want it to feel precious or overworked.” Gallagher wrote that the sleeve prompted unexpected comparisons — to the best pasta he’d ever tasted, an angel’s harp, a perfectly hit baseball — and that putting his arm through it improved his outlook.

Gallagher tried other pieces from the collection, including a cashmere sweater with Tic-Tac-size ribbed cuffs and a triangular notch at the collar and a spongy black blazer. He noted the collection is not cheap: a cashmere overcoat he admired retails for 2,800 euros (about $3,300), which Lundman said is roughly the wholesale cost for a similar Prada coat.
