At least Zara doesn't make me say, "I want the Cojones Chanel-type knockoff. Failing that, I need the Gaudi jacket in Guell, not Gotic." It just makes you line up for an hour to try something on ...

The jackets I have made do not carry a Chanel label, are not cut from Chanel bouclé cloth, nor is there any attempt to mimic their logo on any buttons or trimmings.

The jacket is similar to Chanel's iconic tweed suit jacket - but at a fraction of the price. Plus you can get an extra 10% off with a special discount code.

The jacket is being praised by M&S shoppers, with some even comparing it to Chanel. There are four colours to choose from, and the feedback is overwhelmingly positive.
