I bought both of these from a charity shop and I have tried looking on line for some info on these but I can't find anything on either one so could someone please help.
The first one is a velour evening coat which is a wrap style as it has no external buttons by Bitex Swiss, I thought it was vintage but I am not too sure.

The next one is velour corduroy with large matching buttons, I am currently repairing this one as the top button came off

They both look like 1950s-60s swing coats to me. I like the red corduroy one especially. Do check the other button is secure as well - those would be impossible to replace!
 
I'll second Melanie's dating. I tried to research Bitex Swiss, since I am in Switzerland, but couldn't find anything for sure. Plus there is apparently a road building company called Bitex :hysterical:. Switzerland once had a thriving textile industry, but many companies have disappeared over the last decades. In some specialised areas thought they are still up there with the best.
