Here we have on offer another very
special item for vintage fur lovers and fur collectors. For the auction today
is a one of a kind, a gorgeous and extremely rare vintage Christian Dior
coat/trench with real Russian sable fur collar and cuffs and a removable Golden
sable fur lining. It was
designed to a very high special order in the 80's and it is hardly possible to find
another one like this on eBay or anywhere else. The coat is warm and stylish and well worth considering
if you are looking for warmth, comfort and confidence with plenty of style but
without being too loud.
The coat was designed by "Christian Dior boutique
fourrure" in France in a trench style with real Russian sable fur collar and
cuffs and lined with full pelt real golden sable fur.
It was
made from a shower proofed type fabric in a gold sand/cream colour with a
slight shimmer effect. The main coat/shell is fully lined with matching
coloured silky material with a Christian Dior "CD" pattern all over
and has a detachable lining that is made from quality real golden sable
fur. The fur lining joins to the coat with usual small buttons. The sable
collar and the cuffs are joined to the lining so they can be removed together
with the fur lining.
The collar and the cuffs have been made from Russian sable fur,
reckoned to be the most expensive and most sought after fur in the world!
The fur of Russian sable is dense, soft, silky, warm and very lightweight.
This coat would have cost a fortune to buy, even back in the 80's because
the finest sable only comes from Russia and only a very small amount was exported every year as
sales were very limited. Even today nothing has really changed
and the very best top quality Russian sable will still cost you a
King's ransom and as warm and light in weight as it is heavy in price!
The
shell of the coat is in excellent vintage condition with only a minor
imperfection (a small mark/spot on the sleeve) that is not noticeable at all
when coat is worn. The sable fur is in excellent vintage condition without any
kind of damage. The pelts are very pliable and supple; the fur is incredibly soft, thick, dense and
silky to the touch, very lightweight and it is
free from any unpleasant/musty odours. An
authentic "Christian Dior" label is attached to the fur
lining.
The coat also has two pockets and fastens with 3 "CD"
monogrammed large buttons and a tie-belt. Wearing the coat with a belt helps in
creating a slim-line fitted coat to show off your figure to its best. However, the coat will look equally great whichever way you decide to
wear it.
So this is quite an opportunity to
buy yourself a truly awesome and extremely rare coat that cost a £££
fortune £££ to buy when new! Enjoy your bargain or treat
someone special!
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. You can see how this coat looks on the
mannequin (5’10” or 179 cms and approx a UK size 8). We think that the coat should
fit comfortably from a UK large size 8 to a
size 12, depending on how loose you would prefer the coat to be but please check the approximate
measurements given below:
Underarm to underarm = 21.5"
or 54 cms
Length from collar to hem (back) =
38.5"or 98 cms
Sleeve from shoulder to cuff = 23"
or 58 cms (full length)
Underarm to cuff = 17" or 43
cms
Across the shoulders is about 16"
or 40 cms
Hem = 68.5” or 174 cms
Belt - 63" or 160 cms
The coat weighs 1.7 kg (without
packaging).
The coat was
photographed with a real Russian sable headband and other hats. However they
are not included with the sale and will be listed separately.
