A fabulous little find this coat combines the contrast of a stark black with the a creamy ivory. The bodice and sleeves are done in a short glossy fur that I believe is pony and the collar, cuffs and the skirting of the coat. The collar is cut to be oversized and the coat wraps over itself with a flared cut to the lower half of it. In real life and on a real body it has a more mod, baby doll feel then how it photoed sitting on my dress form. Each cuff ends in a rung of cream mink and the edges along the front closure has just a small line of that same mink running up and along it for contrast. Inside it is lined in a fun paisley that gives it a pop of color when you wear it open. I see minimal signs of wear. Excellent condition with a tiny note to review below.
Fully lined in a paisley printed fabric and closes with fur hooks at the front. I see a tiny bit of wear to the pony skin on the sleeves but this just adds to the vintage patina and presents no issues with the stability of the fur. The pelts are string and supple with no excessive shedding or wear otherwise. Pockets along each hip. Very well made.

I have a small collection of historically important, key designer labelled vintage furs and fur trimmed pieces stored away in my archives that I will be slowly posting on the site over the next couple of years until I have none left. I will no longer be buying furs for the shop moving forward and have not purchased anything for several years now. I feel like times have changed and while there still is a place for vintage furs for some, including collectors and historians, many modern girls are choosing other options. Many of the pieces in my collection are representative of the designer during a set time period in history that was different then our modern outlook. I have decided that the best course to handle this controversial issue is to let the pieces I have go rather then sit in a cold storage unit. Fur coats are final sale.
