Unfortunately, there is not a lot of information here – the label is very faint and says ‘Orebro’. We think it’s a Swedish company. This black leather coat features double fronted brushed silver buttons.

“This is probably my all-time favourite leather coat. I have never seen another like it, don’t really know its history and can’t remember where I acquired it! It is ‘seasoned’ shall we say – looks well lived in. But no matter, I just love it and wore it a lot during my time in the Mode. Many have tried to nab it from me over the years but I held on for nostalgic reasons. Unfortunately, I have filled out a bit since those days and it doesn’t fit me anymore so now I’m happy enough to part with it. I wore it in many photo shoots as well as the video for ‘Somebody’”
