British designer ‘over the moon’ after long-lost coat found in charity shop…


A British fashion designer said she is “over the moon” that one of her long-lost designs was found in an Oxfam charity shop nearly 40 years after it went missing from the designer’s warehouse.

When designer Jean Pallant was told her one-of-a-kind coat had turned up in a donation bag at the Oxfam shop in Mill Hill, London, she was “very excited,” she told the PA news agency.

“I was absolutely over the moon, really. It was very sweet of the person who discovered it to believe that it was something important,” she said.

“It’s like seeing a child. It’s lovely. I know every single square inch of it, and I’m absolutely amazed that it looks so new, and it feels new. Everything about it looks exactly as it did when it went missing.”
