'My favourite winter coat was a gift from my nana, a hand-me-down navy wool pea coat that had been hers and was meant to tide me over on an unplanned trip to Europe until I could buy something more suitable. My nana told me to throw it out over there, that it wasn’t worth the luggage space to bring it home. I did buy a coat when I got to London, but I never liked it as much as the navy wool one.'
