Daily eBay – Christian Dior batwing trench coat

We’re in the mood for high-end designer today. Not sure why. Maybe it’s seeing Michelle Obama look so elegant yesterday. Or maybe we’re tired of the grey skies, and the gloomy vibe on the TV, and need a boost to our spirits.

This 1980s Christian Dior batwing trench coat caught our eye. We’re loving it’s upbeat ambition. It’s not just a trench, but a cape as well. These aren’t just sleeves, but batwing sleeves. There’s no piffly little collar, but a great big ‘look at me I’m ace’ grand collar that can be worn standing. And why just be made of one fabric when two is much more fun? It’s so Eighties excess, and hell if we’re helping to keep great style out of landfill, why not?

Plus, it’s Christian Dior, and while every home has room for a label-free jumble sale treasure, every home should also have its fair share of quality designer treats.

Go on, if you’re a size 8 to 10 buy it, and walk into work with the collar up, your chin up and a very big smile on your face. It’s not all gloomy!
