Bilali swing top, size 6 / medium

Posting for Claire




Dear LoGErs,

In preparation for an upcoming move, I am weeding my closet of items I love but seldom wear.

Item: Bilali swing top, size 6 / medium.
Description: This is a lovely royal blue top with cape-like draping from now defunct UK label Bilali. The front seaming accentuates the ¾ length bell sleeves, while the back has a top, cape-like layer which drapes beautifully over the back (the top is constructed all of one piece). It has a retro 1940s yet thoroughly original style. I love it, but have rarely worn it – between 6 and 8 times. I hope someone else will give it the wear it deserves!

The top photos are mine; the bottom two catalog pictures illustrate the item worn, in particular the cape detail in the back.

Size & fabric: UK size 10, which equates to a US size 6 or medium. Runs true to size. Made of 70% viscose and 30% linen (without the usual stiff feel of the fabric). Feels and drapes like a soft cotton.

Condition: Excellent. No signs of wear. I removed the label in the collar because labels tend to irritate my skin, but the brand name appears on the care instruction label inside the garment.

Asking: Bought from Le Train Bleu for somewhere around $130; asking $75, domestic shipping included.

Listing ends one week from posting date. Please leave your email information in the comments section, or contact me directly at cyberclaire272@gmail.com. Thank you!

All Saints Finsbury Trench Coat



Bought online only to realize that it was too big for my 5'4" frame! All Saints suggests sizing up, but I guess I over did it. I wish I hadn't, as it's sold out now! The detailing is really impeccable - large, square pockets with single-button detailing; double button cuffs. Apparently made at the same factory as the Burberry trench coats, and the quality does not suggest otherwise. The shell material is really thick (and seems weather resistant), but the inner cotton lining has a really soft hand. Definitely a trench you can keep for decades.

Materials:
Shell: 60% Cotton, 40% Polyurethane
Lining: 100% Cotton

Size:
Tagged UK 12, US 8 - but really fits like a US 4/6
Shoulder to Shoulder: 15.5"
Length: 36.5"
Sleeve: 25"

Pricing:
Originally $395
Paid $118

Asking $85, plus shipping

VPL Cashmere [Re-post - Reduced]





** on behalf of alexa
I don’t know what exactly to call this garment … a cape? a poncho?  a vest?  It drapes and layers nicely, but it never managed to push any of my favorite sweaters out of rotation.  Thick, quality 100% cashmere in a nice charcoal gray. I wore it 2-3 times and it’s been handwashed.  No defects or pilling that I can see.  Measures 27 inches across and 21 inches from top to bottom when laying flat.

Paid: I purchased it at Creatures of Comfort in LA for around $150 (on sale) in winter of 2009/2010.  If I remember correctly, it retailed for close to $300.

Asking:  $30 plus shipping [was $75]

Size: S, but would fit a range due to the cut
