Second-hand find: Pink Louis Féraud shirt

Sometimes you need to brighten up your day with a splash of pink. This Louis Féraud shirt (unfortunately it’s polyester, not silk) cost me around 5 pounds in one of the second-hand shops in Chiswick.

Vintage Louis Feraud lædertaske, fundet i Cancer Research genbrugsbutikken i Chiswick. Den har en del mærker og skrammer, men jeg kan godt lide det slidte look. Stroppen kan tages af, og jeg foretrækker at bruge den som clutch/kuverttaske. Pris 4 pund.

In English: I found this very old Louis Feraud bag in the Cancer Research shop in Chiswick the other day. It has quite a few marks and scratches but I kind of like the beaten look. It has a detachable strap but I prefer to use it as a clutch. Price 4 pounds.

Jeg har længe manglet en sort vinterfrakke. Indtil jeg faldt over denne Louis Feraud jakke i ren ny uld i min yndlings-genbrugsbutik i Chiswick. 20 pund kostede den, og det var prisen der overbeviste mig, da jeg i forvejen har alt for mange jakker, og den er ikke 100 % sort, som ellers var planen.

Eneste minus er at den ikke kan knappes, men til gengæld falder de to ternede forstykker så fint ned foran på jakken. Og så må jeg leve med, at jeg bliver nødt til at holde krampagtigt sammen på dem for at holde de værste minusgrader ude.

English summary: I’ve been looking for a black winter jacket for ages and recently I found this Louis Feraud wool jacket in one of my favourite thrift stores in Chiswick. It only cost 20 pounds, so I decided to buy although it isn’t 100 % black.

I like the way the two front pieces are draped in the front and the only drawback is that it doesn’t have any buttons so I have to clutch it to keep it closed in this windy, cold winter weather.
