Does anyone remember these kids’ coats?

When I was a kid 5 or 6, I was food friends with a really rich girl who was briefly at my primary school. This would have been around 1990-1991. She used to wear coats which were so fancy with lots of pockets - they were very patterned and colourful, but the special thing was that they had a small stuffed animal-shaped toy in each of the pockets made from the same material as the coat. It was fascinating putting your hand in the pocket and pulling out a small giraffe or bear or whatever.

They weren’t handmade, as I remember seeing one in a shop when I was little, and I can’t find anything on Google! Does anyone remember these at all?

Need advice I think the original shop and mail order was in the 70’s and still going early to mid 80’s then disappeared for a while, now back in Chichester and online.

I had a lovely pink and blue coat just like this, and my sister had a blue and red one. My grandma made them for us. Must have been in the late 80's. I never knew anyone else who had them, I had no idea they were a thing. Thank you for reminding me, now I want to dig out a photo :)

My mother loved Clothkits! I had so many outfits from them. Even for the school disco in 1983. Not cool Mum, not cool.

I’m so happy to find them and spark other people’s memories! They obviously made a big impression on me, they’re so sweet. I’d turned up nothing with my googling so I thought I’d ask on here. My DC are 6 and 3 and would love them, not sure my skills are up to the job though!
