Chloe produced some gorgeous camel coats for Winter 2010 which if you are fortunate enough to afford, would by a lifetime investment piece:
The midi length is a popular, versatile and stylish option, it keeps the legs warm and you can still show off a on trend trouser leg or a stylish pair of winter boots or evening shoes.
I mentioned in an earlier post this month that I was after a fuller length coat, as my furry options were all thigh length and if I could get a camel coat, then so much the better.
With the Chloe coats as inspiration, I was so pleased to pick up this 100% cashmere vintage camel coat by a brand called Dellbury (no jokes about Delboy and his infamous camel coat please!!)
Its very much a similar style to the 2nd Chloe coat and bearing in mind my coat must be from the 70s or 80s, it goes to show that a classic style never dates and can be reinterpreted for the present day:
I got it from my local boot sale last week and it fits just perfectly too.
So the hunt for a coat is over for this winter and just in time too-the snow here today has settled already and still coming thick and fast, so I'm pleased we've all got a two week break from work and school!!!

Wow, that is am incredible bargain. Will you wear it with a belt like in the first picture? I am really envious, that is a ridiculously good steal x
Great choice - it's just the thing for the super cold weather you're enjoying! Have a lovely Christmas.
Beautiful! I never think of going to car boots, really need to start though! Enjoy wearing it, I am full of envy right now !x
That is a fab bargain and just in time for the snow! Blackpool is looking quite Christmassy now but I'm worried about completing my Christmas shopping! xx
I'm a new reader to your blog and think you got the best bargain! It's a truly beautiful coat, better than the Chloe one imho. Would you post a photo of you wearing it?

I love this coat! The price is a real bargain ;) What a snap of quality and style! Sure you will have nice and warm winter days in it :)
I love yours! How gorgeous!
Love your new header!
Hello! This coat is gorgeous and looks so warm and cozy exactly what I need at this very moment. Will enjoy catching up on all your posts.
xoxo, Bonnie
That's an insane bargain.
Hi thanks for all your lovely comments, I will try and do an outfit post featuring the coat soon and depending how it looks, I may channel a skinny belt with it too x
Great bargain! I am hoping to come in for fashion week in february, hopefully we can meet up then:) Wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas!
i wish we can wear coats here :(
You're SO right! Classics are....classic! I'd love to stumble on one like this. (I'm still wearing MY "classic" which I've had for at least 15 years. It is serving me VERY well.
Score! That is a really lovely coat. I'm still obsessed with anything camel. Hope you had a lovely weekend Sharon (despite the snow) and hope you'll have a great week ahead xx
Brave lady going to the car boots in this chilly weather- but your reward is that coat! Amazing. It goes to show that with classic clothes (like classic cars)vintage can save money AND means you get a unique and classy look too. Epic WIN!
Brilliant bargain Delboy from Rodders xx
Gorgeous coat - I'd love to buy an investment piece just like it but I think I'm a style commitment phobe!
Love the Chloe coats and what a fab bargain you got there!
Wow what a bargain! We talk about the Chloe coat being a luxury, investment piece, but I think your find is definitely the next best thing! Such great quality and timeless too, hope it gets lots of wear :)

What a great find! It's such a classic design, and so warm too.
Sounds like a fabulous bargain! I'm a huge fan of the whole camel coat look, so I really love those Chloe coats too. Great blog, I'm a new follower! http://thearcenciel.blogspot.com/
very nice! happy holiday.
Dear Sharon, that is fabulous! What an amazing bargain... again! I have been keeping my eye out on Ebay for you but haven't seen anything for that sort of price. The last cashmere coat I bought from there is similar to yours but single breasted with a belt instead of buttons which was £32. You have a real knack, plus you actually get up to go to a boot sale, which you know I don't! Hope all's well with you xx
I really need to start hunting down some car boot sales. I'm obviously missing a (fashion) trick here.
Girl, you find the best coats! I love the classic styling of this one -- shows how it has stayed beautiful for all these years, and will remain so for many more to come! :o)
once again I bow to your bargain finding prowess!
that coat is an amaaaazing find!
