Frequently Asked Questions
What makes it different from other trench coats?
FORMA replaces your coat and your bag.
It’s water-repellent, handmade with luxury fabrics, and built for real life — whether you’re commuting, traveling, or chasing kids in the rain.
Can I really carry everything in it?
Yes. And we mean it.
FORMA has 10+ compartments: for your phone, keys, cards, sunglasses, AirPods, a book, even a tablet. There’s even a cozy hand-warming zone.
Is it for women or men?
FORMA is unisex by design.
We believe great design should serve everyone. While the fit is slightly more generous for ease of movement, it’s flattering on all body types — regardless of gender.
Is it warm enough for winter?
Yes — and customizable.
FORMA includes a removable thermal vest you can snap in when it’s cold, or wear solo mid-season. The coat’s silky cotton lining adds warmth without bulk.
What’s it made from?
FORMA is crafted from a waxed linen-cotton blend — water-repellent, breathable, and durable. The lining is a silky thermal cotton. All materials are vegan, natural, and built to last.
Is CIRAGE sustainable?
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
FORMA is:
- 100% vegan
- Made-to-order (no wasteful stock)
Produced in ethical factories with fair pay and safe conditions. No plastic. No fast fashion. Just timeless pieces, made with intention.
Is it travel-friendly?
Absolutely.
FORMA is built for life on the move — whether you're navigating subways or airports. It keeps your hands free, your essentials safe, and your style on point.
What’s the price?
FORMA comes in two bundles:
- Forma Trench only: $399 retail | $279 Super Early Bird
- Full Kit (Trench + Hood + Extension + Vest): $699 retail | $499 Super Early Bird
Launch pricing is limited — so early support = big savings.
Who’s behind CIRAGE?
We’re Natacha & Elie — a Parisian daughter-father duo with over 30 years in the fashion industry.
After launching 7 successful campaigns with our first brand, Laflore, we created CIRAGE to blend beauty, function, and feminist values — with the craftsmanship Paris is known for.
What materials are used to make the FORMA trench?
FORMA is crafted from a waxed cotton/linen blend for the outer shell — durable, breathable, and water-repellent.
The interior features a silky, vegan viscose lining for warmth and comfort.
Is the coat waterproof?
FORMA is water-repellent, thanks to the waxed outer fabric.
It protects well against light rain and everyday weather — perfect for city life — but it's not designed for heavy downpours.
How does the modular design work?
FORMA transforms easily from long to short and from hooded to collar-only, thanks to strong snap buttons we’ve carefully selected and tested.
One coat, multiple looks.
What colors are available?
We offer three timeless colors:
- Champagne Beige
- Noir Classique (Black)
When will I receive my coat?
Shipping is planned for December 2025, with delivery expected by January 2026.
Is there a size guide? How do I choose the right size?
Yes — please refer to the sizing table on the story page.
The cut is forgiving and designed to fit beautifully even if you're slightly between sizes. Unless you order two sizes up or down, it should fit comfortably.
What iPad size fits in the tablet pocket?
The inner tablet pocket is designed to fit an iPad Mini perfectly.
Larger models like the iPad Air or Pro may not fit entirely.
Where will the trench be manufactured?
Depending on order volume, FORMA will be produced in Portugal or Morocco.
We have long-term relationships with expert ateliers in both countries and are confident in their high standards.
Where was the prototype made?
The first FORMA trench was designed and hand-crafted in Paris, in a historic atelier in the Le Sentier district — the heart of traditional Parisian fashion craftsmanship.
Is this the same team as Laflore Paris (the cork bags)?
Yes — it’s us, Elie and Natacha from Laflore! We’re super excited about this new project.
Why didn’t you launch it under Laflore?
Because we wanted CIRAGE to be different — focused only on clothing. It’s a different baby… from the same family.
Are you stopping Laflore?
Not at all — Laflore is still our chouchou! This is an additional adventure, not instead of.
I signed up for the Kickstarter but didn’t receive an email
You should’ve received a confirmation email right away — could you check your spam or promotions folder just in case? If it’s not there, feel free to message us and we’ll make sure you're properly signed up.
Do all the pockets have zippers?
Not all of them. Your key pocket and metro pocket are zipped for security, and there’s also a large zipped ID pocket inside. The other pockets close with velcro for easy access.
What is the length of the jacket?
It depends on the size you choose. When we go live on July 15th, you’ll find a detailed size guide with exact measurements to help you pick your perfect fit.
Sign up now to get notified when we launch — and receive early access.
Where is your store located?
We don’t currently have a store — our Paris boutique closed during the pandemic.
But we do have a private showroom in Nation, where Elie works and occasionally welcomes clients.
That said, we’re dreaming of reopening a store soon… stay tuned.
Does it close with Button?
Yes, the coat does close — it has a front button closure. The video shows an early prototype that was filmed before we added the buttons, which is why they’re not visible there. The final version includes fully functional buttons for proper closure while maintaining the coat’s elegant look. You can check out more photos of the updated sample with buttons on our Instagram page.
