Probably best you don't wear Toletta's Chanel-inspired jacket in the rain

Just when you thought it was safe to venture back into the bathroom following revelations of Simon Cowell's black toilet roll habit, Canadian company Toletta have showcased their take on a Chanel jacket - made entirely out of toilet seat covers.

Luckily for the model featured in the campaign,Toletta toilet tissues are made from large sheets of 3ply toilet paper that are 20% larger and 42% thicker than most other brands. Which is just as well, and may also explain why the promotional shoot took place in a gymnasium. 

The snazzy, if not very practical, outfit took fashion designer Laura Dreger over 180 hours and 864 sheets of paper toilet seat covers to make.

For the germ-conscious among us, the anti-bacterial seat covers are available in purse size travel packs each containing 5 flushable covers and are available in two colours - pink and blue.

Sorry Simon!
