A Mystery Coat

I was out doing a bit of thrifting and I came across this women's coat. I've already tried researching it using my usual ways and means, but coming up blank. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Wow! This is interesting. Looks like a promotional piece of some kind. Hopefully someone on here knows. This is a really cool find! -{

Thanks! It's driving me a little crazy that I can't find anything about it. Royal Blizzand was a pretty high end French brand, popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their trademark expired in 1987. So this coat is probably from the Moore Bond era. I don't think it was a promo piece used for TLD, since Blizzand shut down 1 month before that film was released.

And that's all I got so far. I can't find another one like it anywhere on the internet (so far). And the coat has no other tags other than the ones I shared (so no model number, production date, etc.).

I love a good mystery! )

I thought the same thing, but couldn't put my finger on it. Very interesting. I'll keep a look out.
