A rare vintage designer piece by Oleg Cassini for Diane Furs. Luscious, sleek, darkest-brown mink with espresso guard hairs accented by super-fluffy fox collar and bottom trim--almost 6" wide! Great style: wide, mink-backed collar and arm slits, which can also take a belt or wide ribbon for a fabulously different look. Espresso satin lining. Two hook and eye closures.

Size unmarked, so please go by the measurements: 28" across the front panels at about bust level (includes arms); length in front, 23.5"; length in back, 22.5"; shoulders, up to about 17"; sweep, 67". For reference, my mannequin with arms is a tall size 4.

This cape has been well cared for; both fur and lining are in excellent condition, no wear to mention. There may be a hint of oxidation on the collar, subtle, and a faint hint of dryness to the fox fur along the top edges of the collar/neckline; a professional cleaning may bring back the silkiness of the rest of the fox fur (the bottom trim is amazing!). There's an embroidered name. This cape is an amazing heirloom find. Feel free to contact me with any questions! Text and photos (c) 2017 bluedragonflies.

 

**A note about buying pre-owned furs: Part of what gives vintage items their charm and personality is their sense of history. Please keep in mind that all pre-loved furs--even those in excellent or near-new condition--will show some signs of wear. In most cases, I don't have information about previous owners and how they cared for or stored the coat, or previous repairs (if any), so the coat's current state is what I go by in my descriptions. That said, I have very high standards and spend far more time inspecting every inch of my coats than most online sellers you'll encounter, who use the term "vintage" to describe a very wide range of conditions--when you purchase a coat from me, you know exactly what you are buying. Of course, if perfection is more your style, please take a look at my brand-new items. But if you're drawn to items with quirks and signs of wear that make them absolutely unique and absolutely your own, one of my vintage furs would be a wonderful addition to your wardrobe.
