Looking for second-hand maternity winter coat?

[Starfish83]

Just that, really. Would like a gorgeous winter coat that covers my bump as I can bi longer do my jackets up(!), but don’t want to pay too much as won’t need it for long.

Does anyone have ideas as to where I might find one? Thank you! 😊

eBay? I got one on there and was looking for the 3-in-1 style (with the removable panel than can be used while pregnant or for baby in a sling) that Seraphine, JoJo do etc. I just had some 3-in-1 maternity coat notifications up and got one for the right price after about a week.

A second hand shop?
Ebay?

Have you looked on Vinted? It's a great place for getting bargains!

I wore my maternity coat once (Christmas baby). By the time winter came I was boiling so couldn't face wearing more than a cardigan and scarf. I didn't go out in snow or ice though. I was too scared of slipping. I put my coat in the charity shop as my baby hated being inside it in the sling too.

Is your DM around (and bigger than you?)

I'm an 8 usually and DM lent me her wooly smart coat (she usually wears a waterproof one instead) in a 14 and I wore that buttoned over my bump.

I wore a men’s parka from GAP. Also had a smarter wool wrap coat.

But eBay surely must have a surfeit of JoJO coats in good condition.

I just got a 3/4 houndstooth one from eBay for a tenner. Originally George @ Asda but looks more expensive (well, to the casual observer).
eBay seemed pretty decent when I was looking - maternity coats don't get worn much so mostly in pretty good condition. Brands like Seraphine hold their value though (thinking wistfully of the wool/Cashmere one that went for over £100...)
