Lovely coat! I’m a longtime thrifter and I have found two Max Mara Icons at my local Salvation Army in Vancouver 🇨🇦. One in black and one in navy. I paid $39.00 for each which is a high price for thrift but I love them.
Holy cow really! I live in Vancouver too, may I ask which Salvation Army you went to? I know some are better than others. I have been going to Turnabout for many years but their prices are definitely much higher in recent years.
Huge congrats, Emma! Max Mara is my favourite designer hands down, not that I can afford much of their clothing 🤣, so thank God for second hand shopping. I used to work at a Max Mara boutique and studied their tailoring, and the beautiful signature stitching you mentioned in the beginning is all done by hand! 👍Also, quite a few customers would complain that they want a new coat because the one they bought twenty years ago is still like new - nothing is coming undone or pilling, there are no signs of wear, so they're just bored with it and want a new one 🤣 That's the lasting quality, so I hope that this beautiful coat serves you forever! Enjoy, and I'm on the lookout for one from Max Mara as well, so please wish me luck! Natalya from Canada🍁😘
Hello..conguratulations for your new purchase..and only for 300£, it's really a bargain. For information this coat comes with a belt but as it doesn't have passers-by it means that it's something you wear with it occasionally. If you check inside the coat, under the arm, it has passers-by in wool and that's for to keep the belt when you're not wearing. This iconic coat was made in the 80's and was reissued couple of years ago. In some countries the prize tag is over 2000€. Enjoy☺
The present you got Simon 😭 so sweet!! What an amazing and thoughtful gift. The coat is BEAUTIFUL 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I mean no wonder it’s called the Icon coat. It’s the literally the Iconic coat that every fashionista lusts after. So jealous but so happy for you, and what a deal you got apart from the small fault. It’s definitely a forever coat, I’d never let that one go ever. 🤩🤩🤩
I was able to grab a maxmara coat from a local charity shop for under £20!!! It was when I was at uni and enjoyed trailing through charity shops in my spare time, I'm so lucky I found it. It's been about 5 years since Ive had it and I'm going to cherish it forever!
OMG that coat 😍😍😍. Max Mara is such a classic and will never go out of style. Fantastic quality fabric too. I'm sure you will enjoy wearing that. Great tips on depop. Thank you Emma xxx
Your hair looks amazing, colour is great. Max Mara coat is soo fluffy Its showing on the camera how cosy is it❤️ I also cant believe how organised You and Simon are, its absolutely amazing!
Fair enough you can sell on Depop when you're a famous blogger- so everything gets snapped up. But for a normal person- because of this depop "follower" policy- items would be unsold for ages, if ever sold! not a fan of the platform.
It doesn't have to be on Depop, although this is a platform I prefer. For me it depends on the listing and what Im looking for, not how many followers a seller may have. If depop isn't for you, then maybe try eBay, where you may also get a wider audience 👍🏼
Yep, exactly. And it’s not only Depop. It’s ALL the platforms. I have brand-new items, with tags still on them, for sale for more than a year. Nothing wrong with them - they are from fast fashion brands like Banana Republic and Whit3 House Black Market, but I’ve been asking for very little. But I have no blog or RU-vid channel, so they get very few views.
That's such a gorgeous coat! Yesterday I wore my (very) long black belted Marella coat that I found in a Turnham Green charity shop a few years ago, and felt so snug. A shame you don't feel happy re-sewing the buttons and fixing the sleeve lining yourself, honestly it would be quite simple, but the seller should have given some token refund for not mentioning the damage
I had the same issue with mine (the linning come loos from the sleeve). I don't have the icon version but very simulair design to the icon. And indeed its such a warm cozy coat 💖
I've been looking for a blazer to buy but they're always too expensive for me and to be honest the quality is never the best. but yesterday i found 2 blazers from my mum's wardrobe (she used to wear them when younger but now she doesn't wear rhem anymore, but she still have them bless her). they fit me perfectly, they are good quality but most of all free ahahah thank you mum! i asked her if she would mind me having them and she said "you can have them of course! this makes me so happy!" yayyyyy everyone is happy ahahah #secondhandbutgrand
I'm so impressed with you and your eco-conscious "journey"! Thank you for sharing your thoughts/tipps and tricks while still working in this industry - that's what I call a good influencer!! xx Happy belated birthday to Simon, what a good taste with the diorama(?)!
I love the Nighthawks parodies! My personal favorite has an Airstream going by the window which we have hanging in our '97 Airstream. I didn't know they had a Disney one. Love it!
Ohhh, your new coat is gorgeous, and it truly looks soft, warm and cozy. You look like a movie star in that coat with your black scarf...Really pretty.
Haha in Poland everything in thrift stores is the literal garbage that didn't sell at French, German and British thrift shops. Only the cheapest high street brands with stains, holes and everything 😭
Top Depop postage tip. My boyfriend does Depop and Ebay and you can open an account called ‘Drop and Go’ at the Post Office where you pre-pay postage and you literally drop bags of parcels to be processed over the counter at the post office without having to queue. So I recommend for your big Depop days opening an account so you can just walk in and plop all of your parcels over the counter and get on with your day. (You put your name in big on the bag/s you drop your parcels off in and you write on the parcel what postage you want to do ie. “1st class signed for” etc...) Hope this helps. It was a game changer when my boyfriend discovered it! 😄
Emma Hill It really is. It’s worth it if you have those manic days. It was the PO who told my boyfriend about it as they were getting overwhelmed with him bringing in loads of parcels and also you don’t feel guilty about the people behind you in the queue. Hope it helps. X
Happy birthday to Simon! I loved his gift. I’m a big Disney fan and have seen it before and think it’s so cute. Also your coat is beautiful. I think that was a fantastic deal. Brand new in Canada it’s $4600.....a little rich for my blood.
So glad you finally got the coat of your dreams. How is it holding up? Did you still reach for it now that you've had it for a while? I think the belts are sold separately on the website. Did you ever get a replacement belt?
Love your hair Emma, going to get mine done this afternoon, aiming for your style, also I've just pressed the button for an Austin Reed vintage camel coat, ( can't wait to receive) you so inspire me, love your vids, I'm a charity shop manager, have been for so many years, fair amount of different charities, love the job, the clothes, the textures, the unexpected;-)
This is EXACTLY the coat I hope for as well. It is lovely. Can you share how you do your searches, for example, do you get any notifications? Do you get specific? Do you contact the seller to confirm details of the coat prior to purchasing? Thanks so much, Emma.
I saw Walt Disney when I was a child, while in Calgary Alberta. Didn’t speak to him but was very close. I am in my 60s so, long time ago. Have never been to Disney Land, so enjoy your videos of your Disney adventures.
OMG my mum bought me couple of days ago max mara oversized coat in local charity shop. 90% wool. It cost her only £8. I recollect the name and typed the name on you tube. I was shocked to learn it was your dream coat. Wow
Awww, I think you did quite well for Simon's birthday day present. That self portrait with Mickey looks cool, Emma! I bet he will like it a lot! ❤. Good work, girl!
Beautiful coat! If you don’t mind me asking, what is your size? I’m also looking to buy one. I’m a size 12, but the only one available at the reseller’s is a size 10. Would love to still be oversized on me so your feedback would be so helpful! Thanks
Beautiful coat and, considering the price for a new one, it was an absolute bargain. Your hair looks lovely! I was curious what Simon's other gift was if you didn't get him THAT shirt, lol.
Love the hair and the coat. Simon did you recover from not getting that shirt. ;) Big NO that was. Enjoy your lovely Disney present. Have a nice sunday. X
Your eyelashes look so good but I'm not sure if it's worth getting a beauty pie membership just to get the mascara. Have you tried any of their other products?
I'm now on my second order. With my first order, some of the products weren't the right for my skin type, which was my own fault. The second order is going much better. 👍🏼
Hi Emma, the coat is beautiful! I know it's been a while since you bought the coat. If you could please discuss your process of sorting through the listings for second hand coats such as this and some the dos/don'ts, it would be so helpful. For example, do you only buy from UK sellers? How do you authenticate designer coats/clothes in general? Thank you
Try this video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t7DIxjbosbM.html just in case you haven't seen it as it covers my process of buying from eBay ❤️
i was on the hunt for a camel coat and I just found a maxmara coat the same one you have for 120 euros, I will probably buy it even though I'm a student
Thanks for the tips! For the ordinary person (i.e., not a well-known person with 100k+ followers) wanting to sell items from their wardrobe would you recommend Depop or EBay? Which one gets better traffic and $$ for items do you think? Xoxo
Love your #secondhandbutdamgrand coat ! That could easily be stitched by hand ..hope you didn’t sell your entire coat selection .. you had some beauty’s . Have a fab day .. X
I'm so lucky I live next to the headquarters of Max Mara and they have an outlet with all their de-labeled goods - three days ago I bought my first Max Mara coat too Emma!
hope you had a great BIRTHDAY Simon a week before mine . love ebay selling as you can clear out what you havn't worn for a season and then get bargains for what you need for the next , i recently found two prs of 100% leather 5th Avenue boots and only paid £35 for both pairs , will last forever and a fossil bag ( pre birthday treat ) for my collection :) x
Emma, love the coat! Looks so cozy🐻😍. Happy belated birthday to Mr. Simon 😊. Love the hair! I bet it so easy and quick to get ready now! Looking forward to the next video 😍👍❤️.
Hi Emma, i love the coat, you got a great coat for a good price. I want to mention how nice your haircut looks on you.( I recently cut my hair the same length and style.)
that coat is just GORGEOUS! congrats with your new purchase! :)))) couldn't find on the list what kind of steamer are you using? would be grateful for an answer! thank you so much :)
Happy Birthday Simon! Hope you had a lovely day. 🎉 Emma, I am in search of your western boots ( in the black leather ) on a Canadian site, hard to find!
Your Mac Mara is gorgeous just beatiful. I often travel to beautiful Cohberghagan and they have opened a Max Mara shop there !!! Oh its stunning I purchased a beautiful jacket and jumper there recently. You defo got a bargain with your lovely coat. Have a great week guys. 😇
🎂🍨🎀 Happy Birthday Simon. Nice present. I understand how you both feel about Walt Disney. I have a figurine of Dopey that I have had for almost 40 years. Nice haircut Emma.🎠
I love your vlogs Emma but it seems like all the UK bloggers are doing the same time. Obsessed with the grass thing for deco and max mara camel coat. It’s so same same after awhile
I don't know about anyone else but I have been searching for a similar coat for a while and I have always had pampas grass in the house and our videos 👍🏼
Fantastic coat! I just scored a similar one from H&M premium collection in a navy color. For half price! 90% cool and 10% casmere, with big pockets and a belt. Love it.. Next mission: a lammy bloat, camel and cream colors. A girl's got to have dreams right? 😁😁
@@ihogenhuis960 thank you girl😊 i found a similar one in zara but it's not lined so it's not warm...and i wasn't ready to pay that much for a coat that i can't even use as coat😂😂
I have just bought a pre- owned 1990 Ralph Lauren Navy Blazer from America, can’t wait, I have 2 other Ralph Jackets 💖 great Vlog as always 😉xx p.s love the Max Mara 🥰 pops Happy belated Birthday Simon 😘
I world like to know something more about the shipping price you apply on the things you sell. Do you have a paper with all price quotations depending on the area so you know how much you charge on the items? Thank you :) Sorry for my English, cheers from Italy!✨
Dear Emma, love your Max Mara coat!! For the last three weeks, I am actually on the hunt for to find one for me. I search on Vestiaire mainly since eBay has the system with" bidding" which I don't really like. I would like to ask you the following: when is a Max Mara coat as " vintage" characterised? In Vestiaire there is a special category for vintage clothes but I cannot find what the criteria are for a clothing to be vintage. Do you know ?
@@EmmaHill thanks for the reply! I have searched online and I have read that for the 20years, too. Have you any other proposal for online 2nd hand max Mara coat apart from eBay and Vestiaire? I live in Greece and unfortunately we don't have thrift stores here
