Item of the Week: Topshop Spotty Double Bow Trench Coat

As you may already heard, hip British retailer Topshop is finally shipping to Canada. Yes, the day has finally come!


Being from the land of mighty trench coats, Topshop currently carries an amazing selection of trenches with a unique and updated take on the classic. This adorable polka dot (or as the British say 'spotty') double-breasted trench immediately caught my eye with its double bow (I love bows) back detail. It's just so adorable.


There are a couple of things to note when shopping online at Topshop. First, understand that Topshop operates in British sizing so UK 6 equals US 2. Second, as someone who has been to Topshop numerous times, I was surprised at the low quality of some fabrics. Look for natural fabrics like cotton, silk, and wool, and skip the polyesters and rayons (this lovely coat is 97% Cotton).

£80.00 (approx $124 CAD) at Topshop.

Finally! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read tweets about them shipping to Canada! Love the trench, you should get it, it's very you ;)

Cute trench! I second you on the quality issue. When I first set foot in Topshop in London, I was surprised at how cheap some of the items felt, particularly because when you convert pounds to dollars this "affordable" fast fashion chain can be pricey for Canadians.
