Yes indeed.
I bought my ex wife one.
In Blue with like a flur de leys pattern that came from Debenhams Christmas 1988 for the price of £99!

Ah, so you could get them at Debenhams then. Wow - the mac you describe sounds great!

Was just below knee length and bought as a christmas present. And was never worn!

"Never worn"!! That's such a shame. What happened to the mac by the way?

I took it back and got a refund!

Mandy Marsh?

I wonder if she's a member of this forum?

Me too but it seems if someone always has to ask the question, maybe she just had a fetish for raincoats

Think it was a trading name for womens fashion, as well as rainwear they made dresses etc.

So she had a passion for fashion then rather than being mad for macs

You could buy them at Debenhams, Watt Brothers in Glasgow, and a couple of local fashion shops

Bet Lynch/Gilroy (Julie Goodyear) did indeed have one (a superb mac!) - here she is wearing it in an episode of Coronation Street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D337A2O4JjY

That is the exact style my wife had, one was in silver the other in a metallic bronze, love the way Bet wears it with her collar up

Yes, I remember some pics you sent me that you had taken yourself of a few models wearing the Mandy Marsh macs - must have been about a year ago. I remember one of the models was wearing a shiny black one identical to the one that Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) used to wear in Coronation Street.
