And the good news is you can get your hands on a near-identical alternative for under £100 right now, from none other than the high street brand Marks and Spencer – here’s where to shop Delia’s iconic look.

One 5-star reviewer comments: “I am 5’3 & size 10/12 petite. I love this coat I bought a 12 as I wanted to be able to have thick layers underneath when it’s really cold it comes to the middle of my calf in length, it’s very generous which I wanted, and the sleeves come to 3/4 mark of my hands which is fine for me, quality is good, colour is as on photo, It’s warm and soft. I am in love with this beautiful glam coat, very boho actually thank you M&S I adore this coat just adore it it’s fab.”
While more love pours in from a seconder shopper, who beams: “Overall I’d say it’s great for the price. It’s reminiscent of what were referred to as Afghan-style coats in the 1970s. They say if you remember things being in fashion the first time round, then you should avoid subsequent versions, so I did hesitate, but am glad I bought it.”
And a third writes: “If you’re unsure about ordering this coat, don’t be … it’s got shaggy, soft fur and a quilted lining .. much nicer than I expected for the price. I’m 5ft 8, size 12 is a perfect fit, and the sleeve length is just right. Will be my go-to coat this winter … love it.”
