Lost designer coat reappears in Mill Hill after 40 years

A British fashion designer says she is "over the moon" that one of her long-lost designs was found in an Oxfam charity shop nearly 40 years after it went missing from the designer's warehouse.

When Jean Pallant was told her one-of-a-kind coat had turned up in a donation bag at the Oxfam shop in Mill Hill, London, she was "very excited".

Shop manager Marina Ikey-Botchway said she could tell the coat was a priceless item when the donation came in.

She made the discovery among a donation of high street fast-fashion clothes. 大象传媒 London's Dan Simpson has the story.
