For your attention today is a gorgeous genuine mink fur stole/shrug/wrap in a beautiful and quite rare silver-grey/lutetia/blonde colour with some violet tinges to it.

 

This stole was beautifully crafted from quality selected mink pelts for a special event by Barrington Furs in the circa 50's. It was used for a few special occasions only so it is still in excellent vintage condition from all aspects. The pelts are very pliable, the fur is soft with thick under-fur and without any kind of damage, very pleasant to the eye and silky to the touch.

 

This wonderful creation was intended ideally as evening wear. It is difficult to say for sure if it is a cape, a stole or a jacket. It has two hand-loops, type of short sleeves and it looks as a jacket/bolero from the back and as a stole/shrug from the front. Really very elegant with a pair of long gloves, just like the celebrities of the 50's, something very Audrey Hepburn/Jackie Kennedy in style! There are also two hand resting pockets and a security pocket on the lining side. An addition of some attractive  brooches, pins or necklaces are always an advantage to any fur stole.

As it is a quite large stole you will be able to wrap it around your shoulders on those cooler evenings and to add charm to your outfit on those special occasions. A beautifully fitting item that will envelope you in a quality that exudes celebrity style and elegance!

The stole is lined in a silver silky fabric. There is a faded liquid spot on the edge of the lining but apart of this one it is in excellent vintage condition, clean, all intact and is free from any unpleasant odours. 

So here is your chance to have a genuine vintage mink item, a unique example of timeless high-fashion!

This garment cost a small fortune when it was new but our auction starts with a low starting price and no reserve. Enjoy your bargain!

As nearly all vintage fur garments were made to special orders by set individual measurements then it is really difficult to specify a standard size. You can see how this jacket looks on the mannequin (5’10” or 179 cm and approx a UK size 8). We think that the stole should fit from a UK large size 10 to a size 16-18, depending on how loose you would prefer the garment to be but please check the approximate measurements given below:

Length from the collar to the hem (center of the back) is 16" or 41 cm

Length along the neckline is 58" or 147 cm

Length along the hemline is 77" or 196 cm

Across the shoulders is about 16" or 41 cm

The stole weighs 650 grams (without packaging).
