//// Found Fendi

Posted on | April 8, 2011 | No Comments

Our trip to Rome was not a shopping trip — but we did visit in few little boutiques and vintage shops — those are plentiful there. The absence — or very weak presence of all chain stores war pretty amazing from my Scandinavian perspective. We did not visit the outlet shopping areas in the suburbs of Rome — but actually it is possible to find small outlet boutiques comfortably within the city range.

Anyhow, my find from this trip is second hand — a beautiful wool and silk mix coat from Fendi second line, Fendi 365. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with softest of fur fringe — I can’t really say what it is, the hair is trimmed so that I can’t recognize it. The oversized, dolman-sleeved shape is perfect in all possible ways — I have plenty of clothes that are difficult to tuck underneath fitting overcoats. I was really inclined to invest to a piece of Anywho / Kobra overcoats with quite similar fit, but I was faithful to my promise to not buy new clothes this year. Well, now I’m happy I was — it would have been hard to justify this if I already had that one!

My fluorescent yellow satchel makes a perfect spot of color against the cool taupe color of this coat. See how retina burning fluorescent it is — although the fluorescence does not really show up on digital process, you can see how the bag lights up the nearby area with yellow glow! Otherwise there is not much happening with this outfit…

…and yes it’s still this cold…
