Cute capelet - anyone seen something like this??
Permalink Closed




I really like this Catherine Malandrino capelet/coat. What I love about it is that tie waist. I think it makes the whole cape idea less shapeless and it seems more flattering this way (at least to me).

But this cape is $$$$ and even on sale it is close to $600. Has anyone seen anything similar and cheaper?

I would really appreciate any help. TIA!

can't see the cape, but i saw this listing on ebay:

eta: yeah, mine is vintage...which i think is the best way to find something like this for a lot less. i've seen so many cute capes on ebay.

I thought I was going nuts...couldn't figure out how you got a cape out of that outfit. Seriously, I thought somehow the cape was tucked into the skirt and that's what you meant by the waist tie.

That's what I thought, too!
