1970s Crissa Cotique France Light Ivory Faux Fur Alternative String Coat Jacket

This is a wonderful hip length string coat from the 1970s by the Crissa Cotique of France label. I love these and have had versions of these in the shop. I always look for them. It is made entirely from curved set rows of a soft and fluffy cotton string. Many designers have made versions of these coats since, but there is nothing like the original. You will see these pop up fairly often in the truly cropped length that lands above the hip, but the longer ones like this one are harder to find. I have one of these myself and I always look for the longer ones for the shop. I have included photos of the even longer version of it that I have so you can get an idea of how it looks on, but please note that this one would probably land at about the edge, or just above, of the mini dress I am wearing in the shots.

The color of the cotton string on this one is a light ivory/off-white color that is consistent from top to bottom. Any variations of color in the photos is the lighting only. The cut is loose and easy and it is open down the front with large sized, hidden snaps to close it. It has slouchy pockets on either hip. The inside is unlined and you can clearly see the way the string has been set onto the base and finished. It is meant to be big and slouchy once on so the size is almost irrelevant as they will fit pretty much any size. These can be styled for high, sexy glamour or keep it soft and romantic. These coats can top absolutely anything from jeans to an evening dress, making them an extremely versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. It is a timeless piece of instant glamour and a fabulous alternative to any type of fur, whether it be faux or real. Excellent condition with a minor note below to review

Unlined and closed with hidden set, large snaps along the front. The color is consistent and the strings are strong and stable. These were cut to be worn over-sized and slouchy and it will fit a variety of sizes. There is a mark near the label that is only on the interior and does not show at all on the outside. A touch of grubbiness to the strings to the edge of one side at the bottom. Please see the two photos after the shot of the label
