This is a darling little coat from the sixties that is a great representation of its era. It is unlabeled but well made and packs lots of style in its design. The body of the coat is made from a black wool jersey that helps it to hold its slightly flared shape. The sleeves and upper portion of the coat are more fitted and then the skirting flares out in a neat little A-line under that. It closes with a series of buttons down the front that are set off-side and run along the edge of the fur trim. I am not a fur expert but think it is perhaps a mink. The ivory fur with its grey tines tips, runs around the collar and down the front. Hidden pockets along each hip. Excellent condition
Fully lined in a silky rayon sating and closes with the buttons down the front. Pocket on each hip. The pelts are supple and I see no excessive shedding. Well made with properly finished button holes.

I have a small collection of historically important, key designer labelled vintage furs and fur trimmed pieces stored away in my archives that I will be slowly posting on the site over the next couple of years until I have none left. I will no longer be buying furs for the shop moving forward and have not purchased anything for several years now. I feel like times have changed and while there still is a place for vintage furs for some, including collectors and historians, many modern girls are choosing other options. Many of the pieces in my collection are representative of the designer during a set time period in history that was different then our modern outlook. I have decided that the best course to handle this controversial issue is to let the pieces I have go rather then sit in a cold storage unit. Fur coats are final sale.
