One cape, many locations
One cape, many locations

Here’s one of The Cape Queen’s most recent buys: it’s a 1960s/1970s cape bought from ‘that’ auction website, and it was offered by a Scandinavian seller. Clair loves it because it exudes a proper old-school raincape look. Like it or not, today’s offerings just don’t have that certain ‘something’ this one does.

Liebe Cape-Königin Clair, ich gratuliere Dir zum Kauf dieses herrlichen (wahrscheinlich norwegischen) großen Regencapes! Es umhüllt Dich perfekt und Du siehst wunderbar darin aus, zum Niederknien! Ich finde es absolut schön, daß Du auf so gut wie allen Bildern die Hände unterm Cape hast. Extra schön bist du mit Kapuze auf. Ja, du hast recht mit dem “gewissen Etwas”. Ein nostalgisches Regencape wie dieses ist unvergleichlich: transparent, aber nicht zu sehr, mit einem Stich ins Gelbliche. Was für ein einmaliges Gefühl es ist, in einem solchen Umhang zu gehen, das verrät Dein Lächeln. Eine so reiche Fotoserie von Dir, ich schaue sie immer wieder an!
Thank you you so very much for the great response regards the care. It does have a wonderful yellowish colouring and it’s lovely to wear. The length is perfect and almost to the floor. It was quite breezy in places as it was lovely to feel it blowing around and wrapping me. The hood felt nice on. Do you have any capes like this?
Chère Claire, Cape Queen, vous êtes décidément magnifique ! Quel magnifique achat que cette pèlerine PVC translucide. Vous êtes superbe dessous. Restez bien à son abri. Fantastique par son ampleur, sa longueur, son teint jauni attestant de son âge, sa douceur vraisemblable… une merveille. Oui, je pense qu’elle est d’origine norvégienne comme ils en vendent encore. Malheureusement, il est très difficile d’en trouver encore ici.
Surtout, profitez en bien et ….. continuez à nous régaler avec vos photos sublimes. Quelles qu’elles soient elles vous vont à merveille, avec une petite préférence pour cette cape PVC, et celle un peu plus courte.
