SOLD!! Isabel Marant Etoile Cocoon Coat, black





Apologies for the horrendous iPhone photos.

This coat was bought almost 3 years ago for about $500 (Isabel Marant was cheaper back then!) and worn no more than half a dozen times. It is in perfect condition with two caveats:
1. The hem of one of the sleeves is coming down (it was like that when I bought it). Easy fix.
2. I wore this with a fluffy scarf a few times and so it needs a once over with a good lint remover. No biggie, but I thought I'd mention it since my sticky roller seems to be utterly useless.

Size 1: this was the smallest size available, but due to the cocoon shape, I think this coat would be good for sizes xs/s through to medium. The shoulders are rounded and undefined, it has wide and long bell sleeves, and the overall length of the coat is 26 inches. I would provide other measurements but I think it is pointless because of the "unstructured" structure of the coat. It's a cocoon shape and so onesize fits all, pretty much.

Material: very thick, warm and durable. 70% wool, 30% polyester. Unlined. One leather-wrapped button at top of coat, hidden zip, two leather-wrapped buttons at sides. Spare leather-wrapped button sewn onto fabric label inside.

Asking: $130, plus $15 for US shipping.

Hi Jayne-- I'm sorry about my lack of technical equipment! If you leave your email address, I can send you a pic of me modeling it using the camera on my computer (those usually turn out better).

does it have bell sleeves? it's hard to tell from the pic. how warm is it? east coast winter warm, or west coast winter warm (if that makes sense)...Thanks!

Yes, it has bell sleeves. I'm adding another photo in a sec that I hope illustrates a little better.

As for warmth: I lived in NYC for a few years and now in Minneapolis. I can therefore state, categorically, that it is EAST COAST WARM! (Unless you're talkin' San Fransisco, which is always surprisingly nippy, no matter how much you prepare!)
