Is this a nice coat? Or am I just being drawn in by the price..?

I have a tendency to get sucked in by Groupon deals...is this nice? I think I like it!

It's lovely but I'd bet money the flap doesn't stay up on the shoulder so then you're basically left with the waterfall Cardie look

MelanieCheeks · 17/09/2015 10:34

I think it's nice, but I'm not sure how the flap attaches?

HolgerDanske · 17/09/2015 10:34

I like it! And if the flap doesn't stay up I'm sure there's some crafty way of ensuring it does...

I love a drapey coat. Sigh so many coats so little money.

Thanks all! For £23 (plus Quidco cashback Grin) I think I'm willing to take the risk with the flap..hmmm..now what colour?!

Grey or navy for me.

HolgerDanske · 17/09/2015 10:40

How does quidco work and is it worth it?

Quidco is amazing. Just buy anything you're going to buy online via Quidco and you get paid money back. It's only small amounts, but adds up. I've had £650 back from them for buying things I was going to buy anyway. It's 5% cashback on Groupon purchases.

I've decided on the burgundy one Smile

I like it! - - and I would secure the flappy bit into place - - going to look for it for me --- that's why these threads are soooo bad!!

ouryve · 17/09/2015 10:53

It looks like it would be worse than useless in anything more than a gentle breeze.

HolgerDanske · 17/09/2015 10:55

Sigh I really want one too. Damn you, S & B!

Thanks for the info on quidco, sounds like I should have signed up ages ago!

Topcashback is good too! I've only got £30 so far though...

TheHouseOnTheLane · 17/09/2015 11:00

I've seen similar on Ebay from China so be aware it will be thin and cheaply made...that plastic edging will crack and peel....and they will be SMALL!!

crapfatbanana · 17/09/2015 11:02

I like it - especially the grey.

HolgerDanske · 17/09/2015 11:07

Oh hmmmm yes that does change things a bit. I suppose for that price you could look at it as a one-season thing. But I do prefer to buy quality and keep for years.

lorelei9 · 17/09/2015 11:11

I really like it but if there's no practical way to secure it across the shoulder, I would be put off. I don't think it will be warm though.

ChristineDePisan · 17/09/2015 11:15

I think from the photos that the right hand flap has a popper on it that secures around the back of the collar?

I like it - it's a one season coat, and will probably pill badly, but at that price...

I've ordered it. I just want an autumn coat, and ordered it in a larger size that I'd normally get so fingers crossed!

Hope it's brilliant and fits just right Smile

I like a lightweight coat for autumn, it looks perfect for that.
