this is the kind of princess coat i was desperately looking for ... but i found nothing that was affordable ... what i finally got my little cold hands on is a modern version of a princess coat ... a turkish version.
here it is ... my new princess coat: turkish fashion store, berlin-neukölln // hat: flea market // 70s winter boots: flea market // 50s-60s bag: vintage yard sale ... if i want to i can close the revers up to look like turtle neck.
who would expect to find a coat like this in a very traditional turkish fashion store between veils in hundreds of different colours, enormous and glamorous formal gowns, black and grey floor length capes to hide in ... i just stepped in this shop because of a huge 'sale' sign in the window and remembering the voice of a good friend in my head, telling me: 'i saw the most amazing vintage style coat ever in a traditional turkish shop in istanbul. ... perfect to pair with petticoated skirts.' she was so mad with her self not buying it ...
so i gave it a chance ... the service in there was fantastic. a very lovely girl working there helped me to find the right colour and size (shock, turkish sizes are tiny) ... and a nice costumer told me to get the blue not the brown or night blue coat. shopping there was fun. these ladies really made my day! grumpy germans should learn a lesson from them!
i was told, they have coats like this once in a while ... so girls, if you need a coat to wear over your wide flared skirts, check out the next turkish fashion store! you will feel like a princess.

Woooow...this coat is amazing and you look really cute in it.
The colour is also very nice...it looks like a lighter midnight blue?!
Best wishes!
Der Mantel ist ein Traum, die Farbe wirklich schön. Ich selber trage nur farbige Wintermäntel da es zu der Jahreszeit schon grau und trist genug ist ;)
That has got to be one of the most fabulous, wonderfully ladylike, and completely lovely winter coats I've ever seen. Oh how I wish, we had a Turkish fashion store around here. I'd head over there immediately if we did to try and find a similar gem.
Happy congrats on your new coat - I hope you two have many awesome winters together!!!

What an amazing find - beautiful!
It's gorgeous! a proper coat to wear over full skirts is a wonderful thing! the colour is fab too x x x
That is an incredible coat! What a lucky find. Your comment about grumpy Germans made me laugh :)
Wow, amazing coat!
that coat is incredible!! i cant believe its modern it looks straight out of a 1950s catalog! I'm looking for a princess coat myself, I have a red one but im desperate for a black, I'll have to see if I can find Turkish shop in London! xx
Der Mantel ist ja wohl mal der Ober-Knaller!!
Der Mantel ist wirklich ganz zauberhaft - ein wahrer Glücksgriff!

Wow! I wonder if we have any Turkish clothing shops here in London... ;) That coat is beautiful, and with such a vintage flair, it's hard to believe that it's a modern piece! You look great!
There seriously is nothing like a princess coat. Yours is just lovely! So interesting to hear how it is "modern". I can see so many wonderful ways for you to accessorize your gem-of-a-coat. Great find!
wow der Mantel ist ja wirklich superschön. Farbe und schnitt mit den falten einfach perfekt!!! ja oft findet man wahre schätze an den orten wo man am wenigsten suchen würde ;)

Wow, wer hätte das gedacht? Ich seh in Frankfurt meist nur von außen diese furchtbaren Abend-/Brautkleider oder die über und über mit Pailetten und Perlen bestickten Westchen für den "Kleinen Prinzen" - und finde alles ganz gruselig... Da sollte ich vielleicht doch noch mal einen zweiten Blick hinein werfen - und nicht immer nur schnell vorbei rennen^^
LG, Sandy
That coat is so special! I am really happy that you got the blue one instead of the brown! Love the shape so much! Perfect for petticoats!

Nun wollen wir Berlinerinnen natürlich unbedingt die Adresse des Ladens, der Mantel ist zun Niederknien! Welch ein Traum!
@ anonym aus berlin:
Der Laden ist in Neukölln auf der Karl-Marx-Str.? und heißt 'Belma'. Ich will nix Falsches sagen, doch bis zum 15.02. gilt -glaube ich- noch die SALE-Aktion bei der ich zugeschlagen habe.
Die anderen Farben fand ich auch ganz bezaubernd ...
Er ist aber nichts für die superkalten Berlinwinter, eher für bis -3° oder so. Ich trage gern noch ein strickmäntelchen drunter ....
Viel Erfolg

WOW! I'm shocked that is new and from the Turkish store no less! Amazing!!

Gorgeous! What a treat to find a vintage-styke coat in such an unexpected place! The blue is fab too. Oh, and I live in France. The customer service here isn't so great - lots of attitude, that is, if they acknowledge you at all!
That is a wonderful coat!
I love the pleating, this jacket is fantastic! Hope it keeps you warm.
The coat? Perfect. Just adorable. Plus, is that leopard print I spied on your hat?
