Called the Women’s Bathrobe Coat, it is designed to look like a dressing gown.

One shopper said: “Why would you want to look like you’ve just stepped out of the bath on a night out?

“It is a very bizarre look.”

It has a “kimono collar” like the traditional Japanese robes.

It also has a belt tie like a dressing gown, as reported on Need To Know.

The budget clothing shop chain’s Black Dressing Gown is on sale down from £16.

It is £2,478 cheaper than the Balenciaga one.

Shoppers could buy 207 of the Matalan ones for the same price as the designer coat and still have some change.

The Balenciaga website reads: “Women’s Bathrobe Coat in black.

“Brushed wool, fully lined, Kimono collar.

“Belted fastening, removable tone-on-tone belt.

“Two front patch pockets, one inside left pocket.

“Do not wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry.”

In November 2023, Balenciaga started selling a skirt that looked like a towel wrapped around the wearer for £695.
