This is a beautiful black rabbit fur stole! It is much prettier in person. It is soft, clean and from a smoke free environment. It is 9" wide rows of fur sewn to one long outer rim strip of fur that extends all along the outer edge of the stole. In between each 9" row of fur are two black cords that hold it all together. In the first couple of photos, it looks like there may be more space between some rows than others. You can slide some of the rows along the cords to make it more uniform. The stole is 57" long and 9" wide. It is absolutely gorgeous and very warm even though it is open between each row of fur.
