Wool velour coat with double buttons
This coat was gifted to the Otago Museum by Helen Auld. She wanted her garments to go to Dunedin as an acknowledgment to the important part that Rae Vernon, her teacher at the Otago Home Sciences School, played in her family’s life. Three generations of women in Helen Auld’s family attended the Otago School.
