Faux Fur coat

    I really want a new faux fur coat, I got my old one which cuts at the hips 2 years ago and I'm now looking for a longer one, similar to these:

    I just can't seem to find them in shops at the moment, there only seems to be those ones that are waist length, which i don't like, or ones with no arms, which i also dont like/want.
    Does anyone know where I can get one, preferably for under 100euro?
    Even a black one i think would be nice, one where the ''fur'' isn't very long (Theres on white one in Zara at the moment which is really nice, but the hairs are just too long!)

    If anyone could help me out i'd really appreciate it! :)

    Fur seems to be in the shops at the moment. A girl I know said she got a cool one in awear I think!

    If you were willing to go for a quick shopping trip across the pond it's so easy to pick up a nice little jacket in the street markets for fairly cheap! :)

    I would also suggest charity shops, yes funky smell, (nothing that a washing machine/dry clean can't handle!) but also a cheap cool jacket that none else is likely to have!

    Good luck!

    Ps: Love your style too! :o

    Thanks ;)
    I saw that coat in A-wear, its a sort of leopard print one. I really want one without a pattern on it, but I went to a few charity shops today in Dun Laoghaire to no avail!
    I also went into pennys, and they have a sorta leopard print one, and its actually gorgeous, I'm thinking of getting it, its only 35quid an all :)
    But I do still really want one without a pattern, just a nice brown shade or black :(
    I'm going over to england for six days in two weeks, can anyone suggest any good vintage/charity shops?

    Beyond Retro is a good spot, but can be expensive! There's two branches, I found the East End one to be better Link There's a few vintage stores in that area, so if you walk around the Brick Lane are you should run in to some.

    Camden Market would be the first place I would suggest for the coat and for a nice day out:)

    I saw that one in Penneys too, was so tempted to buy it! Did you have a look in River Island? They had some gorgeous ones last winter. Maybe they'll have the same this year.

    My best friend used to go to London quite a lot to see her ex boyfriend. She came back one day with the most beautiful white fur coat from Camden! (It was real rabbit fur :eek: :( ) But, I have to say it is a beautiful statement piece and soooo soft!. Her ex payed like £50 for it after a bit of haggling.

    If you are going to go to the markets prepare to haggle :)

    Thanks so much for the help & responses!
    I'm very exited about fur coat shopping now :) I'm gonna get the pennys one for now anyway, since its cheap and cheerful! :)

    The Irish Indo weekender did a coat section today. Lovely one from River island for €94 and another from juicy couture for €295
