1970s Bonnie Cashin Lime Canvas Coat with Built-In Purse

old school fresca

an enokiworld fave is more than good looking but also highly representative of the designer who made it


If most women take their color cues from the season and wear nothing but black coats all winter (we're not talking Ann Demeulemeester black either - we're talking Burlington Coat Factory black), why do they not do the same in spring? When all of the trees are putting back on their vernal finery, are you still going to be putting on some pilled black thing? When it is coat season, nothing else matters! You can wear Old Navy under there but the coat is your first, and only, impression of everyone. The coat has got to count or what's the point of living? Oh dear sweet Jesus, not another day of the black Burlington coat... Bonnie Cashin seems to have gotten up each and every morning and saturated her world in vivid colors that take their cues strictly from the most cheerful of Mother Nature's many moods. A Granny Smith apple green canvas coat with apple-hued leather trim. Iconic Cashin with brass turnlocks and a giant leather purse attached to the right side (Bonnie was clearly not a lefty). Made for Sills, this is perfect with skinny faded jeans, rolled above the ankle, and Sven clogs in fawn suede. Bust up to 40", shoulder to shoulder 15", outer sleeve 22" and length 38". Excellent, if not flawless, condition. $610.00
