I found this cute coat yesterday. The color is a real fuschia and it's boucle. I don't know if you can tell from the pics, but there is a big scarf attached that wraps around the neck. Also, does anyone know anything about the Fantasia label? I'm thinking this is early to mid 60's??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I can't help you with the Fantasia label, but someone from the SW will probably recognize the store.
Is it sort of a Kimono cut? Looks like it. Very nice, and nubby raspberries to boot! It looks like a giant jar of raspberry jam! (that's a compliment in my books..)
Late 1950s would be my guess. It seems too long to be early 60s, although it might be 1960 on the nose.
 
Thanks Jonathan! I was hoping it was late 50's...but I wanted to confirm with an expert ;) The sleeves are kimono style sleeves. Another interesting feature is that, aside from the labels, it would be completely reversible.It is lined completely with a raspberry wool jersey. Looks as good inside out as outside in.:)
