Hi Everyone,
I am from the US and my mom was shopping at a store called Marshalls. The store is a discount store. Usually items come in., one in each size.
My mom saw a jacket made by a designer called Bieffe. We have been searching all over for this jacket. It comes in several styles, white parka style jacket with a fox fur collar, black parka with a fox fur and a friend of mine found it at a store near his home in brown. The problem is that my mom needs a 2x size and I have started to search on line. The coat (jacket) is no where! I can not even find the brand. The jacket is made in Italy. It is imported to the states. I want so much to find this jacket and give it to my mom for Christmas, can anyone help me find it?
Thanks for listening...Janet:)

Hi Janet,

Bieffe (bieffeamerica.com)is a sportsgear company that makes helmets, etc. The parka you saw may have been part of a company promotion where excess stock was picked up by a retailer.

You could visit Sears.com and view the following:

Excelled SC 6400 Ladies Parka with fox fur-trimmed hood in 2x for 279.99.

It is currently in stock and available for shipping before Christmas
NOTE:
All other sizes have been reduced by $100 so I would go for that!

Merry Christmas

Hi Sharon,
Thank you so much for responding to my desperate cry for assistance to find the jacket for my mom.
I knew that Bieffe makes the helmets, and found some outerwear, like ski equipment by them too. But that is what is really odd. This jacket has a tag inside called Bieffe and it says it is imported from Italy, the jacket is really really nice.
I can hardly believe the jacket was not made by the millions, because the maker of the jacket could be a millioniar today!
Well again, thank you so much for responding...it is so nice to talk to you. Are you from Italy?

Hi Janet,

I know what you mean by the surprising good quality of promo garments. I wear one in the winter that is perfect for morning walks...but anyone who gets too close will think I work for a fencing company. :)

I am not from Italy but was there this fall for 6 weeks as a missionary helper.
