Physical description
The coat is in a dark grey thick wool, with red stitching. It has two, silver buttons to fasten it at the front, and two pockets.

The skirt is a pleated cotton, with a red waistband. It would go to approximately knee-length on Sindy.

The holdall is a dark grey/silver colour, with white trim and a gold zip. The inside is a matt black color. The material it is made from is plastic.

The stickers are lime green, and both have a red outline if the Eiffel Tower on them, along with the word 'Paris' in black ink.
