Info on 1950"s coat

[Sheila Dawson]

I found this @ Goodwill, I've been trying to find out information on the store, but so far no luck. When I enter the store/maker's name, Elton John is the only info that pops up. Thanks for any help

Hi Sheila, Lovely coat, good find. I believe your coat dates to the 60s based on the style. I am unfamiliar with Elton's. They would have just been the one's who sold it though. It was designed by Visconti and the other label either says what the fabric supplier named the fabric or it is the name of the fabric supplier.

Here's a dress and overcoat from 69 and it says on the bottom costume find styled by Visconti.

Thank you, that helps a great deal. I found an ad for Kurlana Boucle in a Vogue pattern ad

Ok, thank you for that. I wasn't able to make out in full what was written on that label. Botany came out with the new fabric Kurlana in 1953.
