Duchess Kate: “Rubik” black and white houndstooth wrap coat by Reiss

This is the “Rubik” wrap coat woven with a striking houndstooth design. It has a high neck, concelealed button front and a self tie belt. It is by Reiss.

The coat is nice enough but I am not a big fan of the houndstooth pattern.
