I’ve been looking for a light weight coat –– something for the mid to late teens. I tried on a few cotton parkas, but none of them suited me. And then I came across this kimono style coat designed by LRNCE –– a Belgian fashion label based in Marrakech ––and now it’s all I want to wear. That it’s out of stock puts a caveat in my plans, as does the fact that the line is only available at shops in Antwerp, Florence, Paris and Marrakech. Plan B is to take images and a great fabric to my very talented and able Toronto seamstress so she can copy it. It’s rarely the same as the real thing, I know. Sometimes, it’s even better.
