Sandra‘s Closet

Great news for my Swiss readers, Notting Hill-based label Happycoat will come to Switzerland for an exclusive VIP sale at Kids and the City from September 12-14, 2012.
(For details, please see invitation below).

This is your chance to meet the designer, Tilla Lindig, and to explore her collection of timeless outerwear, from sophisticated capes to chic coats and fitted jackets such as the “Kate” which is named after the Duchess of Cambridge, of course.

Tilla, who was born and raised in Germany, lives today with her husband and three kids in London. She knows exactly what women want: Looking stylish while being comfortable. Her pieces work for all occasions, bringing the kids to school or having lunch in the city. She even has started to do bespoke pieces.

Her fan base is huge. Many celebrities have been spotted in Happycoats, among them Claudia Schiffer, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Kate Moss. Last month, Lindig was voted Best German Brand Abroad 2012 by German Bunte, Elle and Instyle magazines. Congrats, Tilla, well done!

Tilla with me

Today I would like you to meet Tilla Lindig, the “new queen of less” and the mastermind behind the cult label Happycoat launched in 2006. The mother of three creates fashion that is casual, comfortable and fashionable at the same time and works all seasons and all occassions.

Once you have tried on a Happycoat, you will never want to live without one. The loden fabrics are soft and luxurious, providing you with cozyness and style.
You can dress your whole family in the must-have cover-ups. Happycoats are available for women, men and kids, all made in Germany.

Which Happycoat are you? There is a large variety of Happycoats in bright and classic colours, sold online or at special private shopping events.

Happycoat I will be available from tomorrow in electric blue, wow, this is an absolute must!

Definitely worth a visit is her newly opened shop in Notting Hill (116 Kensington Park Road, London W11 2PW, Phone +44 (0) 20 7229 0848).

The London based brand has many celeb fans, among them Claudia Schiffer, who is spotted frequently in her large Happycoat collection. Each piece looks stunning on her.
Happycoat is the perfect fashion item for moms on the go, comfortable and stylish in one!

Another fan is Claudia’s little daugther Clementine who looks so adorable in her miniature Happycoats.

You can also get matching mom-daugther outfits.

The next VIP sale will be in Vienna, see invitation below.
Feel happy in your Happycoat!

Yesterday, I flew to London to celebrate the city’s biggest shopping spectacle: Fashion’s Night Out. Being a fashion addict, I felt like having arrived in heaven. The streets were filled with stylish people for whom fashion still has a thrill, an inspiring mood was in the air. The events were numerous, from Giorgio Armani’s cocktail party, Manolo Blahnik unveiling the World of Manolo pop-up store at Liberty to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s DJ performance at the Juicy Couture store. Everywhere was something exciting to see or even to win.

The evening served also a good cause. Vogue launched a limited edition T-shirt for the night designed by Sanna Annukka of which all profits go to charity Kids Company.

There was so much to do it had been hard to decide where to start. Superstar appearances were guaranteed at the parties that required an invitation like the ones at Stella McCartney or Matthew Williamson. I was lucky to be there and had the best time ever. The photos I took speak for themselves. Enjoy my very own exciting moments of last night.

LoL, Sandra
