MARABOUBOU!

The only "bou bou" on this coat is the fact that original owner lost the label! It still has the iconic "Made in France" label, but the famous Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche label has good bye bye hence the bou bou (we know it really is "boo boo," but for sake of this post let us bend the rules a bit). This coat has all the marks of the classic YSL marabou feather coats of the 1970s. The original owner reminisced how this coat would stop traffic at a gala or party as the strong shade of pink always insured a lot of attention. When one needs an alternative to fur, but still wants a glamorous coat to warm you up and not weigh you down, we say choose the bou bou.
