Secret Honey Coronation Elsa Coat and Tote

Hello everyone, welcome back to another post. Today, I would like to show you this beautiful Coronation Elsa Coat and Tote Bag from 2016 and 2015 from Secret Honey. This coat is hands down my favourite Secret Honey Coat. It is so perfect and I’ve worn it a lot back when it still fit me. Hope to fit into it again at some point 🙂 I am very close to be able to close it 😀

I showcase one of my Disney pieces every two weeks, you can check out my other posts if you like. Last time I showed you my Secret Honey Coronation Elsa Set and Cardigan.

If you would like to know more about the brand and about how you can get these dresses, I have got you covered in this post. I also sometimes sell dresses from my collection, check out my shop or my Instagram, I usually list them there.

The Coronation Elsa Coat and Tote

To start, I would like to show you the two pieces on my dress form. I put the coat over the Coronation Elsa Set and Cardigan. The coat was released in 2016, the tote however at the end of 2015. Here are the original prices:

• Tote Bag: 3900 yen plus taxes
• Coronation Coat: 29000 yen plus taxes

Here they are:

The Coronation Elsa Tote

Let us start with the less exciting piece 😉 I really like this tote bag, it is pretty, but there is not much space and you can’t really close it. The top is open with the exception of a press stud. Here it is on my floor in full glory:

There went a lot of energy into the design of the front, I guess they were out of it for the back 😉 It is really plain:

The Decorations

So let’s go back to the front and start with the most exciting, trims, ribbons and beads. The velvet ribbon, also used to decorate the handles, binds the top of the front of the tote bag. Beneath we have a pretty golden trim. Then comes a layer of multichrome fabric, depending on the light, it shimmers turquoise or violet. Beneath that is a brown velvet ribbon that is decorated with studs and beaded circles.

The same colour shifting fabric is used for the ruffles that line the other three sides of the bag. The ruffle is one folded layer of fabric, so there is no seam or finishing around the edges which I like a lot. I also always do a double layer for my ruffles.

The handles… They were lined with a golden faux leather. But as so often with Secret Honey’s faux leather, it didn’t stand the test of time. The bag came with paper tags and was labeled as barely used. And I have seen other listings of this and also Anna’s coronation bag with the same problem. So I guess it really is aging. Here is a picture for your reference:

The Print

The bag of course has a matching print to the bodice and skirt set. First we have the pattern representing the embroidery on Elsa’s skirt:

Then we have the smaller embroidery pattern:

And last but not least, there is also a print of Elsa. It is the same print as on the skirt of the set:

The Coronation Elsa Coat

Let’s have a look at the star of this blogpost, the Coronation Elsa Coat. It is absolutely gorgeous, I love it so much. Just look at it:

It is a small coat, not much room for the bust. I’d say around 92 cm or less, eventhough the size chart says 95. Here it is from the side:

And here is the coat from the back. I had to pet my cape a bit. My coat is untagged and there seems to be an issue with the purple part of the cape, it always gapes away from the layer underneath.

The cape is of course detachable, here you can see the coat without the cape. That is how I was usually wearing it. I do not like the jewel on the cape a lot and as I mentioned, there is an issue in the back (although I could fix that easily with a few stitches… But the fear of touching a Secret Honey piece is so real ;)).

The Decorations

The coat closes with a decorative and visible button at the top and a hidden button placket beneath the top button:

Here is a close up of the decorative button. The Arendelle emblem is on it:

The button placket is my favourite part of the coat, it is decorated with embroidery and beading details:

Then there are different deep purple details that are used to decorate the coat. For example on the cuffs. These are also decorated with little velvet bows:

More of the deep purple can be found on the flaps of the pockets:

Then, we have another beautiful detail on the bottom back of the coat. The emblem of Arendelle is embroidered in the centre. The pattern that is also embroidered on the button placket repeats around the hem:

The Cape

Let’s look at the cape. Here is a picture of it on my floor:

I already mentioned that I do not like this ugly plastic jewel… Will probably replace it at some point in the future. It looks so cheap… Here’s a close up:

The darker violet decorations are not part of the purple layer, they are separate. They are quite stiff and give the cape stability. In the back, they are lined with the same fabric as the cape is:

The Coat Lining

The coat itself has a really beautiful lining repeating the pattern and Elsa print of the tote and the skirt of the set. Here is a look at the full lining:

Some of the details:

And of course the print of Elsa on the side:

And that is everything I got for you for today. I hope you enjoyed seeing all the details of the Coronation Elsa Coat and Tote. Thanks a lot for reading and I hopefully see you in my next post.

Love,
Ella
