Have you ever had your eye on a piece of clothing or an accessory for years (something that was maybe designer and you couldn't afford it, or a one-off piece a friend owned) and it never left your mind because you loved it so much?
Something like that happened with this vintage-style floral tapestry coat I was kindly gifted by JD Williams. It's a very similar type of coat to the vintage tapestry coat I was lent for London Fashion Week several few years ago: the colours are nearly identical, and although that one had a geometric pattern and this one is floral it sort of looked the same to me as I'd remembered it in my head.Though now I've looked back at the pictures of the first coat they're not actually all that similar, but still - I love this new one! It's surprisingly lightweight (quite a blessing for a coat like this, they're usually as heavy as anything), the colours are gorgeous, and then there's that fur collar. Which is detachable, making the coat soooo much more versatile. I foresee it with different colour scarves or covered in brooches around the neckline.
