Dries Van Noten Embroidered Pieces: Every Coat, Blazer, Skirt, Shirt and Bag

Embroidery is what Dries Van Noten does that nobody else does at ready-to-wear, and it is where the price goes. Gold bullion, coiled metal thread couched by hand, on a wool coat and a crepe blazer; matador embroidery, the dense bullfighter’s-jacket kind, on a cotton coat and jacket; jewel embroidery in glass on cotton poplin; 3-D flowers on skirts, blazers, a wedge pump and a crossbody bag; placed ribbons at a shirt cuff. The embroidered bags state Made in India, where the house’s ateliers are. Coveti carries 45 embroidered pieces, $500 to $10,630, and this page ranks them with what each carries.

The bullion pieces

The Embroidered ankle-length wool coat in Black carries bands of embroidered ribbons, beads and bullion on lightweight wool; its belted sister in wool twill carries 3-D flowers in gold bullion and sequins. The Embroidered crepe blazer in Navy puts 3-D flowers in gold bullion at the shoulder of a fitted crepe blazer; the wool bomber and the black crepe scarf carry the same work. The loose cotton poplin shirt has bullion at the waistline and cuffs.

The matador and jewel pieces

From Spring Summer 2026: the off-white cotton A-line coat, the camel double-breasted blazer, the cropped cotton jacket and the capri trousers, all in twill microsand cotton with matador hand embroidery; and the light grey cotton poplin mini dress, skirt and shoulder bag with all-over jewel embroidery. These are the couture-priced pieces of the range.

The 3-D flowers and the placed work

3-D flowers appear on the long embroidered wool skirt, the crossbody bag in leather and satin, the micro nylon bag, the black clutch and the wedge pumps. The placed work is the affordable end: the Embroidered cotton poplin shirt in Old Rose with ribbons at the cuffs, the embroidered wool sweaters with a yoke, the embroidered cotton shirts with a band at the chest, the embroidered belt.

How to wear it

One embroidered piece and nothing else decorated. The bullion coat over black; the crepe blazer over jeans; the embroidered shirt under a plain blazer. Keep bags and belts off the embroidery, and let it be the point of the outfit.

Frequently asked questions

How much are Dries Van Noten embroidered pieces?

$500 to $10,630 at Coveti. The placed-embroidery shirts start the range; the matador-embroidered cotton jacket ends it.

Is Dries Van Noten embroidery done by hand?

The bullion, matador and 3-D flower work is hand embroidery; the house states “hand embroidery” on the matador pieces and the bags are marked Made in India, where its ateliers are.

What is bullion embroidery?

Coiled metal thread, here gold, couched by hand onto the cloth. It has weight and catches light; a printed copy does not.

The Embroidered bag charm at $500.

How do I care for an embroidered piece?

Specialist cleaner only, no abrasion, fold with tissue, and keep bag straps and seat belts off the work.

Can I wear two embroidered pieces together?

The house does on the runway; for most wardrobes one embroidered piece and plain everything else is the rule.
