>> I'm probably about to offend the school of women who worship at the alter of Celine with my choice of words, but I had to round up this particular trio of coats/capes, representing three distinct price stratas too using the word 'bathmat'. I blame Steve really. It's all looking a bit 'bathmat' to Steve be it Celine's fluffy sheepskin, Acne's nubbly cream wool or the vintage version that I saw at The Shop on Cheshire Street which prompted the trio . That's not to say that the heights of perfection can't be reached within the bathmat context as Celine's gold-clasped fluffy cape and leather collar-ed reverse shearling coat clearly demonstrate. I'll leave it up to SHOWstudio's ode to Celine's ability to do 'Perfect', to illustrate this…
A closer look at the fully accomplished bathmat piece with its choice bit of accompaniment – Emma Balfour looking like she might kill you if you dare even think about flicking a drop of water on her bathmat cape in the ad campaign…
Acne's Galaxy Wool T-shaped coat is less tufted and fluffy but still definitely nubbly and fibrous enough to warrant bathmat status. I nearly bent to its will when I was in Browns Shop 24 where it's hanging up because the cocoon shape along with the star-cut collar and zippers in the sleeves were all sitting in all the right places…but then…
…perhaps I knew all along that something like this would pop up for a mere ¬£50 at The Shop on Cheshire Street. Alright, this is reaching the almost inferior level of bathmat and it doesn't really stand a chance against Miss Perfect at the top and Miss Galaxy above. But it does tick a very fluffy fluffy box. And there's also a slight chance that were I to take a ridonculous bath Daphne Guinness style, this WOULD actually come in handy for absorbing some of the wettage. I didn't buy it in the end as I'm still thinking that Miss Galaxy might do the trick (I can just FOR-GET about Miss Perfect….) but head down to The Shop if you're after some bathmat action…
P.S. The smart buyers at The Shop have also got in a LOAD of vintage hand-knitted chunky cable, Aran and waffle knitted jumpers at about ¬£30 a pop… may have felt like I paid through the nose as I was rummaging wearing my pink Prada jumper…

Loving these massive cable knit jumpers!!!! Where is this place?!
I like those fur coats.
cable-knit jumpers…..seriussssssss.
Really a cool fashion.
Now that you’ve put the thought in my head, it’ll never leave. Those furry coats DO look like bathmats. Maybe I should just take my bathmat, pin it on my body in a haphazard way and say its a 3 thousand dollar coat.
I agree with Steve…bathmats
we don’t care if that coast looks like a bath mat or not, we love it!
