Hobbs' 'lavish' fur coat that's a dream for keeping cosy for Christmas is on sale

As Black Friday approaches, our favourite shops are overflowing with deals. Although the shopping event officially takes place on November 29, some retailers have already started their Black Friday sale early, including HOBBS, a brand adored by Princess Kate.

After browsing through some of its Black Friday deals - which offer a 20% discount on everything - we've found several fantastic discounts on garments perfect for the festive season, including a luxurious fur coat that has received a flawless five-star rating.

The Rosanne Faux Fur Coat, reduced from £229 to £183.20, is a lavish, statement coat that radiates glamour. Available in both petite and regular lengths, this shiny black coat features an alternating fur pattern that gives it an almost checkerboard appearance when the light hits it.

With a longline boxy fit and a funnel design neckline to keep you warm, the coat's hook-eye fastening provides a seamless finish, while its subtle side pockets are a handy addition for keeping your belongings close or your hands warm.

Shoppers have fallen head over heels for this now discounted garment, with one fan of the piece stating: "Perfect fit. Love the shine in it making it perfect for going out Warm and perfect for the weather."

One customer was charmed by the coat's quality, saying: "Lovely coat, really nice quality material and seems to be well made. The slight pattern in the fur gives it a lovely finish.", reports the Mirror.

However, they added with a hint of regret: "the coat was a bit big on the shoulders so I've had to return it. The smaller one would probably be slightly tight."

Another satisfied buyer praised the item: "Love it. Love the feel and the fall. I think I'm going to use it for a long time."

Meanwhile, an excited shopper shared their anticipation: "saving it for Christmas holiday. To arrive in style! " - and indeed, this coat promises to make a stylish entrance.

The festive coat isn't the only gem found in the HOBBS sale; there are also dresses perfect for the holiday season. Take the Velvet Marciella Dress, now reduced to £111.20 from £139, which comes in a gorgeous midnight navy and is made from luxurious silky velvet.

It features 3/4 length sleeves to ward off the winter chill, a neat collar, and a tunic-style silhouette complete with pockets – a much-loved feature. A repeat customer who purchased the dress in red last year couldn't resist the navy version, commenting: "I bought the same dress last year in a wine colour so know the navy version would be the perfect fit, wonderful quality velvet and very smart and stylish for any occasion."

Pair it with sparkly boots, now £139 down from £189, or Mary Janes with tights for an elegant yet festive ensemble.

Add some sparkle to your wardrobe with the Zariah Sequin dress, now reduced to £143.20 from £179. Available in sizes 6 to 22, this elegant number is perfect for parties all year round, featuring a sheer neck, blouson sleeves, and a classic black colour.

The dress dazzles with its sequined and beaded body, ideal for the festive season. Its mini, tunic-style cut pairs beautifully with glittering heels, Hobbs' Kamala jewelled bag, and the Rosanne coat.

While many have lauded the dress as 'beautiful', not all feedback has been glowing; one customer commented: "Lovely dress unfortunately the style being quite square did not suit my frame and did not get the sparkle wow so did not keep it It would suit many just not me."

Another shopper's experience was marred by issues when returning the item. With Black Friday around the corner, Hobbs is joining the fray alongside Debenhams, which is offering up to 75% off, and Nobody's Child, which has a 25% discount across the board with code BF25.
