Vintage child's cotton patchwork embroidered coat

Recommended Posts

For sale on behalf of Save the Children charity:


A kindly donated unique hand made vintage Childs cotton patchwork and embroidered coat, possibly from the '50s judging by the prints used. It is lined in a plain calico type cotton, and the length has been altered at some point. Each patch and seam is outlined in hand embroidery in different colours. There are three metal flower buttons at the front, hand made buttonholes and a pink frill around the neck.

The interior shows two slight patches of slight staining/bleed through from colour run from the exterior patches. There are also two side belt loops, but no belt. The lower hem edge has a couple of patches of very slight wear, but it is otherwise in a fair condition.


Measurements are:

Total back neck to hem: 75cm

Underarm circumference: 65CM


I estimate it would fit a 3-4 year old.


This is a truly unique piece and deserves to find an owner who will appreciate the unique character and creativity in this coat.


PRICE: £35.00, from SE3

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
