Coat: Flea Market. Bag: Madewell.
My first two new Autumn acquisitions.
The first is this coat. You can imagine how I found it. As Michael’s driving past a local church flea market I yell: “OMG stop the car! Stop. The. Bloody. Caaaaar!!” He pulls over without even asking why. He already knows. I jump out and literally run into the market where I saw the coat hanging on a wire fence. I’m thinking to myself: ‘will it fit?’ Two minutes later I’m sitting smugly back in the mini with it. It fit!
The second find is a Madewell leather drawstring bag that some have seen on my Instagram photo in a fitting room. The Mansur Gavriel bag re-ignited the current trend for them and I’ve worn various vintage ones throughout the years (including my still loved white DIY studded one), but I never found a vintage one that I was 100% happy with. Remember this red one or this croc one?? When that happens I suck it up and buy retail to get exactly what I want until the right vintage one turns up. This simple Madewell one ticks off the boxes and is logo free.
You can follow me on my Instagram where I tend to post new finds first!

I died a little death when I saw that picture of the coat the first time you posted it. And you’re right, it is hard to find the right vintage drawstring bag.
