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

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
