‘Penny Lane’ coats have been emerging as a huge trend this Autumn season, but here at All About Audrey, we believe they’re more than just a trend - they’re a timeless statement piece.
The questions are - what is a ‘Penny Lane’ coat, where did they evolve from, and how have we at All About Audrey put our own stamp on them?
To define the style of coat itself, it’s simply a bohemian 1970s inspired piece, defined by its iconic fur lined collar and cuffs.
Surprisingly - a fact I only learned recently - the name of the coat came from the 2000 film ‘Almost Famous’, in which Kate Hudson’s character ‘Penny Lane’ wears an iconic fur lined jacket.
The original name of the coat is an ‘Afghan Coat’, used to stay warm in harsh environments with the use of real animal fur coats, and was later popularised as the ‘Penny Lane’ in western pop culture.
They were a huge staple of the 70s rock-and-roll style, and thus are the perfect piece to express your bohemian style during the colder months.
A huge lover of a Penny Lane coat is our dear founder Audrey, and so, over the years, she has worked tirelessly to create unique vintage-inspired Afghan coats for you all to enjoy.
Our most beloved and iconic version of these are our ‘Fleetwood’ coats. We’re always developing new colours/variants of these, each named for a Fleetwood Mac song.
Although we’ve sold many more over the years, here are the ones we currently have for sale on our website, in chronological release-order.
Songbird Pink
This is the most ‘Audrey’ coat of them all, which explains why she dons it so frequently herself. She is a huge lover of pink, and this dusty sweet shade helps to bring a pop of floral femininity to any winter look.
'Dreams Blue'
Another bright & fun shade, the Dreams Blue was a big hit with all of you, so this and the Songbird Pink variant were both restocked at the end of 2025.
'Rhiannon Black'
This is the most underrated, and in my opinion, one of the most beautiful of our Fleetwood Coats. The black floral vintage inspired tapestry fabric is utterly unique, and a showstopping addition to your winter wardrobe.
'Tango In The Night Burgundy'
By far one of our most popular ever - we only have one left! The stunning contrast between the floral stitching that Audrey designed herself, and the rich burgundy suede make for a truly eye-catching, witchy coat.
'Silver Springs Lilac'
Another one of my favourites that's potentially underrated - the Silver Springs variant. Modelled here by the gorgeous June on a particularly cold snowy day in Brighton last year, this coat is proven to keep you cosy no matter what the temperature is reading.
'Sara Green'
The first of our brand new coats this 2026 winter season! This stunning coat has sparked many debates in our office - is it green or is it blue?
The description from Audrey herself, is that the coat is a ‘seaglass green’, like a stone you would find at the beach. A direct quote from our work group chat reads, ‘I may be blind but I’m not colour blind’ - so that settles that!
Holly here absolutely stuns in this colour, and it’s a truly unique and individual piece to wrap up warm in.
'Tusk Orange'
You all have absolutely been loving this Tusk Orange colour, and there’s no surprise there - the warm rusty blood orange tone with the deep chocolate brown fur exudes 70s energy in the best way. This colour was absolutely made for Asha who can be seen modelling it!
In case you’re not quite as bewitched by the Fleetwood coats as we are, here are some other examples of Penny Lane coats we currently have available.
The Suki Coats
These brand new beauties are a fresh retelling of the classic Afghan coats.
Suki is an iconic 70s boho Winter staple inspired by classic Afghan coats and the style of Penny Lane. Wrap up extra warm in this hooded faux suede midi length coat, complete with faux fur trim and daisy embroidery designed by Audrey.
The two shades are absolutely adorable, with the Ammonite Stone Beige colour being an easy-to-style staple for those freezing drops in temperature, and the Middlemarch Pink shade being a final feminine, playful touch to any winter look.
The Janis Coats
This Penny Lane style corduroy coat is the perfect addition to any wardrobe, adapting to your personal style and with a cotton thinsulate that makes it warm but not too thick. She's ready to wear for multiple seasons!
I personally have worn my Agate Green variant out and about in town many times, and it’s the one piece in my wardrobe I’m always guaranteed to get plenty of compliments on.
Both colour variants are timeless and stunning, and a particularly eye-catching final layer to your bohemian looks in the Autumn/Winter period.
Which coat, I wonder, will you be selecting for Winter this year?
Until next time...
