Magda Butrym capes: the knit cape, the faux fur cape and the cape-back tops

Posted by author-avatar

The cape is the outerwear shape that runs right through Magda Butrym autumn winter 2026. It turns up as a coat in its own right, as a leather cape fastened over a faux fur coat, as a draped panel falling from the shoulders of a midi dress, and on the back of a cotton T-shirt and a sweatshirt. The idea is the same each time: a second layer of fabric that moves when the wearer does. 8 cape pieces on Coveti, $1,530 to $6,150, median $3,300. This page is each one, how it is made and how to wear it. Shop the Magda Butrym collection at Coveti, see every designer coat at Coveti, and read the fur and shearling guide for which pieces are faux.

The knit cape

The faux fur-trim knit cape is 70% wool and 30% cashmere with a polyester faux fur edge. It is the warmest of the capes and the most versatile, because it sits over a coat as easily as over a knit. Worn over a fitted black turtleneck and a pencil skirt, it does the work of a coat on a cold dry day.

The faux fur cape and the leather cape coat

The faux fur cape in brown is modacrylic and polyester and fastens at the neck; it is the evening piece, over a slip dress. The faux fur coat with a leather cape layers a calf leather cape over a full-length faux fur coat in dark brown, the most dramatic outerwear piece of the season. The fur and shearling page sorts every fur piece into faux and sheepskin.

The cape-style coat

The Pre-Fall 2026 cape-style coat with scarf in beige is cotton and polyester, a lighter shape for autumn: a cape back over a coat front, with a matching scarf. It goes over tailoring and over denim.

The cape midi dress and the cape tops

The draped cape midi dress in burgundy cupro has a panel that falls from the shoulders down the back, so the dress reads as a gown from behind. The T-shirt with draped cape, in cream and dark green, and the sweatshirt with draped cape, in grey, bring the same back panel to daywear: a plain front, a cape behind. The red dress guide has the burgundy dresses.

How to wear a cape

Keep everything under it narrow: a fitted knit, a pencil skirt, straight trousers, a slim boot. The cape gives the volume, so the rest should not. Carry a small top-handle bag rather than a shoulder bag, which fights the drape. The Barbara bag is the right size.

Care

Dry clean the knit cape, the faux fur pieces and the cupro dress. Hang capes on a broad padded hanger so the shoulders hold their line, and brush faux fur with a wide-tooth comb, never heat. The cotton cape tops can be washed cold inside out.
