1970s Brown Suede Penny Lane Princess Coat with Statement Metal Fastenings

A spectacular original 1970s long suede coat, sourced in Paris, with an incredibly elegant princess-line silhouette and striking statement hardware.

Made from beautifully soft chocolate brown suede, the coat has a long, sweeping cut with a fitted upper body that opens into a wonderfully generous A-line shape towards the hem. The high funnel collar can be worn fully fastened for a sleek, dramatic look or opened and folded down.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the series of large square silver-tone metal turn-lock fastenings running down the front, with a matching fastening at the collar. A decorative half-belt at the back repeats the same distinctive hardware. Finished with discreet side pockets and a wonderfully plush pale trim around the entire hem.

The interior is lined in a dark, velvety plush fabric, adding warmth while retaining the elegant shape of the coat.

A beautifully dramatic piece of 1970s outerwear with a distinctly French feel — easy to imagine worn with tall boots, a printed maxi dress and an oversized felt hat.

Condition

Very good vintage condition with natural tonal variation, patina and moderate signs of wear to the suede consistent with age. The overall appearance remains beautiful and the statement metal fastenings are intact.
