Vintage furs have become very fashionable and the most desirable this
season. For all those who follow and keep up to date with the latest and
“hottest” fashion trends we are able to offer to you a genuine vintage coat
that was hand crafted in the 50’s.
A simply beautiful real wild mink coat in a gorgeous Demi
Buff/chestnut/Russian sable shade! It was made to a special order from selected
wild mink pelts which are highly prized for its close similarity to
Russian Sable, especially in colour. They do not use wild mink in the fur
industry any longer so here is your chance to have a genuine vintage mink coat
in a great vintage condition, a unique example of timeless high-fashion!!
The fur of the coat is soft, healthy and silky to the touch with thick
and soft under-fur and a wonderful natural glossy sheen. It is in excellent
vintage condition with only a minor general wear for its age. The coat has been
worn for only the odd few special occasions and was kept in storage over the
years.
This coat has been crafted in a
slightly loose "A" line style that hangs really beautifully. It
has a neatly shaped collar that can be worn open or closed, two side pockets
and bracelet length sleeves that look very elegant
with a pair of gloves, just like the celebrities of the 50's!
The coat fastens with three
hook and eye-closures. It is lined in a brown satin
type fabric and the lining is in excellent vintage condition, all intact and it has not been monogrammed. There are not any musty odours to the coat, just a
natural scent of real fur.
It is a really beautiful
piece of vintage fur fashion, a unique example of timeless
high-fashion, something very Audrey Hepburn/Jackie Kennedy in style!
This coat cost a small fortune when
it was new our auction starts just from 99 pence. Enjoy your
bargain!
As nearly all vintage fur coats were made to special orders by set
individual measurements then it is really difficult to specify a standard size.
