What happens if you leave a damp tea-towel out

This has rendered me speechless for most of the day. I started this post this morning, but I couldn't find words sufficient to express the grotesque, bulbous barbarity this coat epitomises.

I love the overdone fur coat so beloved of ladies in the thirties, who were often shown stepping from expensive cars drawn up in front of a large house in Mayfair.  I can only think this coat is some kind of reference to that image but, oh how irony fails when the coat is synthetic, the shoulders mushrooming, the colours unaccountable, and the price obscene.

Even animal activists will suggest you wear a real mink if this is the alternative.

Topshop, £450.
