Ok, now I really have to get to work on my freelance bread-and-butter work (Flash for a book promotion... yawn), but I had to find out about my find of the week! Is this COMME des GARÇON a clutch coat? There was no belt to be found anywhere around. And to me it looks a little odd belted anyway. Also, I have a feeling this is '80s with the cropped sleeves and gold, but am not sure... <img src="http://kevinjohndoherty.com/ebay/aug/cdg_clutch1.jpg"> <img src="http://kevinjohndoherty.com/ebay/aug/cdg_clutch2.jpg"> <img src="http://kevinjohndoherty.com/ebay/aug/cdg_clutch3.jpg"> <img src="http://kevinjohndoherty.com/ebay/aug/cdg_clutch4.jpg"> I was striking out at a local Sally's and looked under a rack near the mirror where everything is tried on (it's usually a good place to find stuff that doesn't fit the original finder) And spotted a crumpled gold-metallic-flecked tweed ball. Intigued, I picked it up and spotted a CDG label. Goosebumps were forthcoming.
Very, very chic! I'm not crazy about it belted either, but I love it open - has a cape effect almost. Yes, I would call it a clutch coat. I would say 80s (late, I think). It looks really smart with the black dress and gold necklace Kevin. I'm not that familiar with the CdG label, but I would say this is a good find and wonderful for Fall. Sue
Thanks Sue. It's funny, I never heard of a clutch coat until I read another thread here and it solved <i>The Mystery of the Missing Belt</i> for me! kj
I think it is a clutch coat too and like it much better open; however, I do have a 70s Lilli Ann with those type sleeves. Will have to take a pic sometime. Nice Coat!
Oh I *love* that! Stunning! What a fantastic find, Kevin!! I prefer it open, as well - but I am digging it closed, too. Versatile and I can so see that being rocked here in NY - it's just gorgeous and so cool.
