It being a typically cold and wet bank holiday Sunday with no chance of gardening, I recorded Charade to watch later. 1963. Paris. Cary Grant. Audrey Hepburn (clothes by Givenchy).
I love those little coats with three quarter sleeves.
I like those coats too. I have an original fifties cherry brandy pink velvet swing coat with three quarter sleeves and a reproduction black swing jacket with three quarter sleeves.
*is jealous*. Way back I did have very neat Courrèges inspired navy coat which was very similar. It came from Wallis, which was brilliant for coats in those days.
I won't tell you I found the pink velvet one in the back of a dusty bookshop for £10 then ..
Your coat sounds gorgeous! I have a burgundy velvet Biba (modern Biba mind you) reefer jacket with matching dress. I paid a fair bit for the two pieces and patent Biba boots, but forgot that sitting in velvet is a no go so have barely worn it.
