Camel coats are looking to be one of those must-have items for fall. Lucky Magazine shows the versions sent down the runway by Chloe, Philip Lim, Michael Kors, Prada and Gucci but it’s possible to find a fabulous vintage version, too. Just take a look at today’s VPOD by Originala.

From its start in the 1940s through the early 1970s, Originala made high-end suits and coats out of its location on Seventh Avenue in New York. And when I say high-end, I’m talking about coats that sold for $400 or $500 in the late 50s and early 60s. To give you an idea of just how expensive this was back then, if you adjust that price tag for inflation, it would be like buying a $3500 coat today!

The good news is that quality and style are always in fashion and you can grab this beauty with its wicked oversize pockets and suede belt at a non-inflation adjusted price.

That makes it a smart and trendy find for a vintage fashionista!
