Ercoli Coat

I was introduced to the Ercoli brand in 1996.  Their boutique always gave me a kid-in-a-candy store high with their dizzying spinning wheels of color splashed all over comfortable, wearable clothing.  It was a place where I could find delightful overdyed wallpaper print dresses and jackets that reminded me of Aunt Bert’s sofa print. 

I spotted this coat on a rack while shopping in their South Philadelphia warehouse.  I asked how much, was told $10, and immediately snatched it up.  I can wear it anywhere.  It’s fabulous for day, always gets second looks and tons of compliments.  It’s a lush, jungle green tapestry which lends a springtime air to chilly days.
