Help me identify a label/brand

[sammylady37]

I’m hoping somebody more informed than me can help out here. I recently bought a cape type coat from a shop, and I want a second one in a different colour, but they are sold out. I’ve googled the label/brand but to no avail so I thought I’d ask here in case anyone could shed any light on it. I’ll attach pics. Any help gratefully received!

Anyone??

Could it be this OP

www.madein1982shop.com

Possibly, it seems a close match for the name anyway and it’s Italian, but I went through everything on the website and the caps isn’t there. Thank you though! I appreciate the response

*cape

If it were me I'd speak to the shop manager and ask them, either can they order you one in or what brand/where can you get it online.

I’ve tried that and they’re not being helpful, unfortunately

If you Google ‘sun 1982 abbligamento’ some things come up.

How annoying of them.

Have a look here - Italian made wholesale website.

Thanks everyone- have seen some nice things but not the cape I’m searching for unfortunately

There’s an Italian brand Sun68 here but there doesn’t seem to be a cape on the website - sun68.com/eu_en/

Which shop did you buy it in?

And have you tried searching for the barcode and company address? If you look at the wash label inside the clothing it might have those details.

i bought it in an independent boutique, not a chain, and they really aren’t forthcoming with info! Plus they say they can’t order another one.

I haven’t searched the barcode, I’ll try that, thanks

They probably bought it from Commercial Road in London or somewhere similar!

There are quite a lot of unbranded Italian clothes that some independent shops sell - they usually have them on eBay too. Try searching "Italian cape" or similar combinations on eBay and see if it comes up there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ve searched to no avail, unfortunately. I’ll just have to settle for the one I do have!

Can you post a photo of the coat?

Good idea!
pic attached, I hope.

When I say it’s a cape, it’s because you can’t put it on like a regular coat, it has to go on over the head like a jumper, as it is joined at the top under the cowl neck, and then the sides drape loosely over each other and kinda fall apart as you walk… trust me, it looks nicer than it sounds! I have it in chocolate brown but they originally had it in camel as well and I’d love to get that.

So there are arms? Is it like a structured poncho? It looks like a coat in the photo, I'm just trying to work out what search terms to use

This looks fairly similar although not identical. I suspect it is definitely one of these unbranded Italian manufacturers lots of independent shops sell though.

eBay link.

Yeah there are defined arms and to all intents and purposes it looks like a cost, but you can’t put it on as you would a coat, it has to go over your head like a jumper. There are no buttons on it, it just sort of drapes from below the neckline

Similar style, though a jumper rather than a coat. Mine is (fake) suede.

agree it’s one of those ‘made in Italy’ brands but I just can’t track down another one, which is very frustrating!

Is there a care label inside with the manufactures details on it? I suspect people are right in saying that it's a wholesale company they would have purchased it from. Potentially on the commercial road mentioned? I can only suspect the shop is so hesitant to tell you because either they have paid a tiny fraction of the price for it that they sold it to you for and don't want you finding out, or perhaps they purchased older seasons stock from another company and they don't want you to know and can't get it anymore.
