A WINTER coat created by award-winning designer John Galliano is expected to attract plenty of interest at a vintage clothing auction in Dorchester.

Duke’s auctioneers are expecting the black coat to fetch up to £800 on September 5.

Deborah Doyle, from Duke’s, said: “This beautiful coat is in excellent condition and I am confident it will create huge interest at auction.”

She added: “I am often asked: ‘What do we sell at a vintage auction?’ “The answer is period costumes for ladies and gentlemen through to up-to-date haute couture.”

There is still time to consign items for auction. For more information call 01305 265080 or email deborah.doyle@dukes-auctions.com
