Coat ‘turned grey after dry cleaning’

A DUBLIN housewife has been awarded damages for a Jaeger coat that changed colour during a trip to the dry cleaners.

Marie Finnerty told the Circuit Civil Court she had left her “special occasions” coat with Snowdrops Dry Cleaners at the Kingswood Shopping Centre, Tallaght, Co Dublin, in July 2009.

“It was cream coloured when I left it in and what I got back was a dirty grey-coloured coat, my coat but a different colour altogether,” she said.
