Zara’s new coat range looks surprisingly expensive

Get ready to up your coat game, because Zara just dropped a limited edition range of outerwear, and such is the level of embellishment and detailing, it might as well be designer (the prices aren't, don't worry).

Created with a view to 'indulging unbridled creativity', ZARA ATELIER is a new venture for the high-street label, mixing high-end design with exquisite craftsmanship. Though this is the first drop, you can expect two limited-edition collections per year, each with an artistic spin.

The first six-piece capsule, which focuses on coats, mixes dreamy cocktail outerwear with embroidered ponchos and overcoat styles for daytime.

LONG COAT COATED IN METALLIC THREAD JACQUARD WITH A CROSS-STITCH. FEATURING A HOOD WITH DETACHABLE FAUX FUR TRIM, LONG SLEEVES, A TIE BELT IN THE SAME FABRIC AND A WIDE COTTON STRAP WITH OLD GOLD PYRAMID STUDS ON THE TURN-UP.

Couture details include a marabou-trimmed collar, a sequin-embroidered lapel, feathers and oriental-inspired floral embroidery, in rich jewel tones of sapphire, ruby and gold.

Even your classic camel coat gets a luxe update, with a bold rose print and gold cuffs. The prices do reflect the craftsmanship and level of detail, so are a little higher than what you'd normally spend on a Zara coat.

All the designs are priced at £259, and when you see them, you'll agree they're worth every penny.

You can shop the new collection online and in selected stores now.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
