First it was difficult to choose, first we found 2, not one but 2 (the complete pair) of pristine, unchipped cat vases...well I wanted them, they were big ones too and £28. They were the first thing I felt a pang of guilt about wanting to take home for myself, until we turned a corner. There it was, the coat of my dreams, the long leather afghan coat with sheep wool around the arm cuffs, around the bottom and YES, not a collar, no...an actual hood! Beatiful genuine suede, leather Vintage 70's coat. You have that moment where you think "I'll just try it on, see how it looks, I won't buy it, probably won't even fit"...so tried the coat of dreams on and unfortunately, it fitted like an absolute glove and looked even better than it did on the hanger. "How much is it?" "Um £££? Well actually that's a bargain, I've seen coats like this go for £200? Just a button missing, easily fixed...oh god, I'm never going to see this coat again, buy it, buy it, BUY IT!!!"
So, I bought it, had to get more money out to actually pay for what we were supposed to be buying. It won't be a regret buy, I can tell you that for nothing.
Was it worth it? I think it was. Anyway, we have more treats for you on ebay, under PurpleHeartsVintage, or follow this link http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/purpleheartsvintage/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
There are about 20 items at the moment, ranging from size 6 to 16 for women and we also have some mens wear as well, including shirts, cravats, scarves. Everything we sell is hand picked and quality, we don't sell anything we wouldn't want to wear ourselves....unfortunately not the coat this time though!
