MY NEW COAT!

This coat falls beautifully creating a long, relaxed silhouette and fastens with three large press studs that are concealed when closed. The faux fur collar collar is removable but i generally wear mine as i think its part of the coats effect. there are also fur patches in the same material on both elbows. There are two pockets on the front of the coat with a contrasting stitched border, which also runs along the placket and around the hemline. this coat will be featuring in the outfit i will be wearing for my brothers wedding. previously priced at £2,014.
