Upstairs, in the furthest cupboard, I have some vintage clothes stored away for the day when Bella wishes to experiment.  In amongst them is a full length chocolate brown velvet single breasted coat with the sort of split up the back that made you feel like a swash buckling highway man when walking down a street.  The decadence of the material felt such a statement of the times, it was hard to see it having a real purpose again.
