Afghan coat

in needleworkmonday •  7 years ago  (edited)

In the seventies I was too young to have a vote in choosing my clothes, but I certainly do remember them. Those coats, with a mixed smell of suede, cigarettes and incense.
A couple of years ago I create one myself, inspired on those hippie 'uniforms'.
The suede is fake. The fur is fake. The embroidery is real ;)
Unfortunately we don't have real winters in Australia ...
