When the classic French chore coat meets American workwear meets Japanese simplicity meets cozy quilt coat. With a large collar, roomy pockets, color blocked linen cotton and denim, and tonal multidirectional quilting, the unisex Ellis Chore Coat is so much more than the average chore coat. It’s the perfect shoulder season layer - breathable yet warm, ideal for 45F - 70F.

Inspired by Laura’s husband, John, whose classic American style (think James Dean) and love of Japanese woodworking and symmetry (he designed and built their entire house!) influenced every aspect of the design.

The Ellis Chore Coat is easily a wardrobe staple and that will wear like your favorite pair of blue jeans and become a future heirloom for generations to come.

Wescover creator since 2018
Vacilando is a design and production studio dedicated to making beautiful, useful objects while modernizing the tradition of American Craftsmanship.

Raised in Texas and London by two architect parents, Laura spent several years in New York City studying art history and painting before embarking on a year-long road trip adventure around the U.S. in 2013. Six years of traveling and two Airstream later, She now calls the Texas Hill Country home.

Completely self taught (with the help of the internet), Laura discovered the medium of textiles on the road and fell in love with the utility and potential of the craft. With a couple years of quilting under her belt and a dream of designing and making quilts all day, she launched Vacilando in February of 2015.

Endlessly eager to explore new places, wander through markets, and discover interesting colors and textures in nature, Laura draws inspiration from her travels and translates them into the modern minimalist designs that Vacilando is known for.
