Brigitte Bardot's Coat Up for Grabs for Dog Charity
6 Aug
Summary
- Brigitte Bardot's sleeveless velvet coat is up for auction.
- Proceeds will benefit the Dogs in Distress charity.
- The 1960s coat was designed by Jean Bouquin.
A cherished sleeveless velvet coat belonging to the late French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot will be auctioned to support animal welfare. Bardot, who passed away last December at age 91, dedicated her later years to supporting animal charities after a successful career in modelling and acting.
The black, full-length coat, embellished with butterflies and wool fringe, was designed by Jean Bouquin in the 1960s. This distinctive piece, representative of the "hippie chic" style popular among the jet set of the era, also comes with signed photographs and a dedication from Bardot.
The auction will be held at The Cotswold Auction Company in Cheltenham. Funds raised will go to the Dogs in Distress charity. This event offers a rare chance to own a piece of iconic fashion history while aiding canine rescue efforts. The auction is scheduled to commence at 10:00 BST on Tuesday.
