This soft and rare coat is part of a private collection belonging to a couple from Lausanne who ran a high-end Italian ready-to-wear boutique in the 1970s. All their pieces were handmade in small Italian workshops, where the quality of the wool and the precision of the finishes were a true signature.
This model is distinguished by its thick, powder pink wool, a color typical of the Italian seventies aesthetic — soft and incredibly modern today.
The loose, flared cut provides fluid movement, while the structured balloon sleeves and wide collar offer that irresistible retro charm.
The original buttons blend beautifully with the fabric's color, adding a graphic and elegant touch. In its day, this type of coat sold for around CHF 2,000, due to the craftsmanship and exceptional quality of the wool.

Dimensions
Dimensions
With the VINTAGE, finding your size is not always easy.
Indeed, the sizes listed on the labels do not often correspond to the reality according to the origin of the garment.
As an indication, we mention a size based on the measurements of the garment.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, measure a garment of the same style flat and compare it to the measurements listed in the description above.
Washing & Care
Washing & Care
A subject close to our hearts.
These wonderful garments have stood the test of time and yet they are in very good condition. How?
Not only were the manufacturing methods and the raw materials used of another quality but our grandmothers knew how to maintain a garment so that it lasts. p>
To help you perpetuate this knowledge, you receive with each product a little card which tells you how to take good care of your new beauty.

My Unique Shoulder Pad Creations
Made from vintage fabric, these accessories, inspired by antique designs, are handmade by me. Curtains, linings, damaged clothing... nothing goes to waste.
Where do clothes come from?
I hunt for pieces individually from private individuals in French-speaking Switzerland.
What is Vintage?
An item can be considered vintage if it is more than 20 years old. If it is a recently produced item that resembles an old garment, the term retro is used.
How can I be sure of the size?
The dimensions are always listed in the product details. Of course, the best option is to try it out in the showroom. I'd be happy to reserve an item for a few days while you wait for your visit.
Where is the showroom?
The Showroom is located in the historic town center of the town of Aigle. Parking spaces are available just a stone's throw away.
