1990s Raspberry Oversized Check Italian Mohair and Wool Coat with Large Patch Pockets by Damart

I can’t get enough of the colours in this coat. The mohair in the fabric creates a sheen, which makes them shine beautifully, while the overlay of colours in the check creates a lovely depth. 

It’s not just about the colour - I love the large patch pockets and practical three quarter length design. Such a wearable coat.

Buying Vintage

Don’t always believe the label - vintage sizes come up much smaller than modern sizes. To confirm your Vintage Akimbo size and for instructions on how to take your measurements, please check my Size Guide - all you need is a tape measure!
