Carolyn Bessette Kennedy personally gifted this coat to Rosemarie Terenzio, John F. Kennedy Jr's assistant and confidant to the couple, during the 1990s. Rosemarie recalls: 'Carolyn decided she didn't want to keep it as she thought it was too 'Miami girl' for New York!'. A true city girl, coats were a staple in Carolyn's wardrobe. She typically favored a darker and more practical color palette of black and camel.
