The front appears to cross over itself and close with a double row of extravagant bead and rhinestone encrusted buttons

The other ends in two fantastic gold chain tassels - each almost 2 inches long and topped with a rounded filigreed cap

layered under other pieces and can easily transition from day to evening in a flash

Both are hand finished

This gives the fabric a touch of added texture and it is also soft to the touch

Documented 1973 Biba by Barbara Hulanicki Rare Maternity Label Black Faux Fur Swing Coat designer-emanuel-ungaro The front appears to crossA patterned version of this coat was photographed for The Daily Telegraph Magazine in September 1973 and featured Jean Shrimpton and Barbara Miller. I am very pleased to have an all black version of it for the shop as it is exceptional. This coat is made even more interesting because the tag on it is from the short lived and very rare Maternity line that Biba did. These were made in the same fabric and styles as the regular line but with room added
