1950s Lilli Ann Chocolate Brown Clutch Coat

 

 

We once had a coat like this one. Hauled that beauty around for more than a decade before the ex 'disappeared' it. Yes, guys, weeding out your partner's vintage collection  could be considered grounds for divorce. Indescribably soft and supple in chocolate brown cashmere and wool, this gorgeous clutch coat has a huge shawl collar that just begs to be snuggled around your neck.  And you know that since it's a Lilli Ann, it's a goody. Tucks at the shoulder add a bit of fullness at the bust, with welted slash pockets at either hip. Lined in chocolate brown satin. Bust up to 42", hip to 48", shoulder 17", sleeve 23", total length 43".  Perfect as an evening coat, but the simple line makes it totally wearable for day as well. Excellent condition. $445
