I have held this in my archives for several years now and I think that it is a stunning example of the fur pieces being produced at this point in Dior's history. I am no expert on furs but believe this it is mink. The color is a rich deep chocolate that is so dark that at first glance it almost appears to be a black. The fur is supple and soft and very shiny. It is applied on to the coat in series of matching rectangles that each measure approx 5" x 7" and you get a bit of a border where each fur piece meets another. This gives the coat an added bit of texture and a subtle pattern. It is cut in an almost trench coat style with a more structured, flared bottom to it then a soft trench would have. Big, unusual silver buttons run in a double row down the front. Slanted slit pockets sit on each hip and and it has its original matching tie belt that you can cinch to give the coat shape. The sleeves are cut straight and full and the collar is a classic notched wide collar.  It has been properly stored and cared for and appears to have been worn very little if at all. No splitting, issues or shedding. Excellent condition with a minor note below to review.

Fully lined in a black silky satin and closes with the buttons down the front and has an attached tie inside. Slip pockets on each hip and one hidden along the inside edge at the front. Matching tie belt. I see no bald spots or shedding, the pelts are supple, soft and shiny. there is slight wear at some of the common points - edges of the sleeves. the inner edge, but it is very minor. For a vintage fur from such an important designer, I still rate this as near excellent. The fur has no odd odor, is still supple and is stable with no signs of excessive shedding that would indicate that it is breaking down.

I have a small collection of historically important, key designer labelled vintage furs, fur trimmed & feather 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. All fur coats, fur trimmed & feather pieces are final sale

This garment has been professionally cleaned, pressed and is odor free. Thoroughly checked over before shipping, it will be ready to wear upon arrival.

This has been in my archives for a while now and at some point, it lost its Pierre Cardin label. I have had to price it as an unlabeled piece of course, but wanted to still provide that information so that you can assess the quality level of the jacket. I am no expert on furs but believe this is perhaps beaver or a long haired mink. The color is a rich deep chocolate and the fur is supple, soft and very shiny. The jacket  is cut in a classic pea coat style with a double row of buttons down the front. On each side of the hips sit slanted flap pockets and it is cut to slightly flares out as it nears the hem. The sleeves are cut straight and full and the collar is a classic notched wide collar.  It has been properly stored and cared for and appears to have been worn very little if at all. No splitting, issues or shedding. It is a lovely example of the work from this label during this period of its history. Excellent condition.

Fully lined in a deep brown silk. Slit pockets at the side under the decorative flap. Embroidered with the initials JG inside. I see no bald spots or shedding, the pelts are supple, soft and shiny. Perhaps slight wear at some of the common points - edges of the sleeves. the inner edge, but very very minor and only mentioned for full accuracy. For a vintage fur I still rate this as excellent. The fur has no odd odor, is still supple and is stable with no signs of excessive shedding that would indicate that it is breaking down.

This is an exceptional twenties flapper coat that is made of a beautiful black silk velvet and is accented with ermine fur at the collar and cuffs. This particular fabric is a dream to wear with its beautiful drape and ease. It falls to just past the knees and has a loose and easy cut so can be thrown on over just about anything. The upper portion of the coat has soft rounded shoulders and these curve gracefully into the sleeves. Each sleeve is quite special with that wide ermine accented cuff and are cut on an angle and are wide for a little extra volume. The collar is equally special with a wide soft collar that has a man's evening coat feel to it. The inside of the coat has been lined with a pale ivory silky satin. This interior lining is still in excellent condition and it is a lovely contrast to the inky black of the velvet. It has no true closures so when it is on you get that flash of the silk lining every time you move. I love the wide and easy swing cut through the body.   Excellent condition

Fully lined in an ivory silky rayon, both the interior and exterior are in strong and wearable condition. No closures. One hidden pocket along the inner seam of the opening. The loose and open cut will fit a range of sizes. there are some faint discoloration to the inside silk near the collar but the fabric is strong and stable and this is very month. For its age I still rate this as excellent. The fur has no odor, is still supple and is stable with no signs of excessive shedding that would indicate that it is breaking down.

Note that antique and twenties pieces are final sale. They will be packed exceedingly well and we only sell pieces that will stand up to the stress of shipping, however, having pieces potentially shipped multiple times through multiple customs and countries is too hard on garments that are historically important and deserve to be treated with love and care.

This is a a wonderful piece in that it can play double duty and be worn as a stand alone piece or layered to act more like a coat. It is from the days when Gianni Versace himself was the head of the atelier and it is everything you want in a Versace piece from this time period. It is constructed from a fine lightweight, black wool. It is cut in one long and lean line that is sculpted to shape the body. It has a slight military vibe to it with its fitted silhouette and top front pockets on both the hip and bust. I love the vertical seaming that runs down the front and back. These follow the curves of the design and emphasize your curves underneath. They also act as a detailing pint as they have a glossy black snakeskin running down each of them for the smallest little touch of texture and shine. The front is finished with a row of black matte buttons and each of these has the gold Versace crest embossed onto them for a touch of gold to break the starkness of the black. These buttons run all the way down the front and allow you to open it fully which gives you that versatility of wearing or open and layered or closed and on its own. Beautifully finished. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black silk and close with buttons down the front as seen. Tagged a vintage Versace 42.

This seventies coat is unusual in that it has its own little carrying case hidden away inside a pocket in the form of a zipped pouch. It's label indicates that this was a patented design and it would have been made for the girl on the go and traveling.  The leopard print has been applied to a soft jersey and the inner lining is a lightweight fabric that is probably slightly water repellent. The leopard print acts like a neutral in that you can pair it with pretty much anything and any color. It closes with a double row of buttons down the front and ties around the waist for added shape. I love the notched collar and its trench coat styling. It flares out as it reaches the hem and has front, angled flap pockets. The zip pouch double as the inside of one of those pockets. You just pull it out and voila - the travel pouch is revealed, It is quite clever. Excellent condition

This Geoffrey Beene wrapped coat is fabulous with its bright contrast of that hot pink silk satin against the heavy black silk base. The collar, cuffs and the inner edge of the coat are finished with  a vivid pink and that shot of bright color combined with the dramatic lines of the coat are wonderful. The coat wraps to close and is cinched in at the waist. The skirting below the waist flares out to an extreme fullness that is very flattering on. The collar is cut to be oversized and the color draws the eye to create a strong focal point. I love that each cuff is finished with that same pink fabric. Both the collar and cuffs are top stitched in rows for a little extra detail. It is cut so that you could get away with wearing this on its own as a dress, but if you do layer it over something else, you will love the unexpected pop of color that runs down the inner edges on both sides at the front. It is just gorgeous and a wonderful example of his earlier work. Excellent overall condition with notes to review below.

Fully lined in a black silk and closes along the waist with hook & eye. Hand finished through out and extremely well made. It presents as being in great condition but has some tiny things to note. There is a touch of wear to each cuff where the fabric folds (see photos) and there is a touch of fading/discoloration along the top of the collar from improper storage (photoed) and where each cuff folds. Otherwise excellent. Priced accordingly. Note the pink is ore a Barbie pink in person and better then how it photoed.

The upper portion of the coat has soft rounded shoulders and these curve gracefully into the sleeves.

The collar is equally special with a demure little detail at the back where a panel of fabric of fabric is looped and gathered around the back collar. The inside of the coat has been lined with a pale green silk satin set slightly shorter then the length of the coat. This interior lining is still in excellent condition with just the barest hint of wear near the arms where a small repair was made. I love the wide and easy swing cut through the body. It has no true closures so when it is on you get that flash of silk lining that creates a wonderful contrast to the black exterior. Excellent condition

The pictures cannot come close to conveying the beauty of this coat. It is really extraordinary but being black, it is hard to capture just how wonderful it is. The cut is stunning and a strong nod to the sixties aesthetic. It is cut full length with narrow shoulders and meant to sit more fitted to the body through the upper torso. The sleeves are elbow length with a straight cut to them. It is seamed at the front waist only with a slight flare to the lower portion of the front and the back sweeping out more from the shoulders to the hem with no seam to break the line at the back. The fabric itself is stunning. I have included some close ups but even they do not convey it properly. It has a floral print woven through the silk with a matte black thread for contrast. Then onto this are raised embroidered threads that curve between the flowers and these sit up from the fabric for a slight 3D effect. It was then lined in thick, luxurious pink silk satin so every time you move you get a pop of that amazing color. It is as beautiful inside as the outside. The final finishing touch are the two huge crystal encrusted rounded buttons that sit at the neck and waist respectively.  Very well made. Excellent condition

The coat is fully lined in an immaculate bright pink silk satin and closes with the two buttons at the front. It has a good weight to it but is not unwieldy to wear. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. Note that the pink is far richer in person then how it photoed.

This is a lovely set that is unusual in that it is a larger size which can be a rarity in vintage. The print is so shocking for its time period and feels like a precursor for what in the 1980s. The client that commissioned this one must have been a bold girl to have ordered such a bold statement piece. It is two pieces, a dress with a matching coat that slips over it. The dress itself is made from a silk jersey with a stylized blue leopard print. It has a simple cut with an undefined waist, long sleeves and scooped neckline. It cut very loose and full through the body, almost caftan like, though you could easily belt it if you wanted to add more shape. The coat is the same print and the cut equally as simple. The fabric is more of a jersey knit and I like the slight contrast between the two fabric choices. The collar is rounded and simple. Down the front it closes with a series of large, clear acrylic buttons that have a blue center for contrast. The body of the coat is also cut loose and easy with that same slight flare to give it more volume as it nears the hem. Excellent condition.

Both pieces are fully lined in a hand set blue silk. The dress closes at the back with a painted metal zipper. The sleeves are not lined in the dress. The coat closes at the front with the buttons as show. Proper buttonholes. Hand finished. It is definitely more on the XL side.

A patterned version of this coat was photographed for The Daily Telegraph Magazine in September 1973 and featured Jean Shrimpton and Barbara Miller. I am very pleased to have an all black version of it. The coat is wonderful. It has those fabulous Art Deco lines that Barbara Hulanicki favored. It is made out of a light black faux fur whose pile lays flat and has a textured feel to it. It is soft and supple and falls beautifully once one. The coat zips up the front to a high funnel neck. The bottom. It is more fitted through the shoulders and then falls, swinging outwards with quite a good amount of fabric. The shoulders and sleeves are spectacular with that high capped cut she became known for. From those wonderful shoulders the arm falls and gradually widens as it nears the cuff. This is the Big Biba store era and is a fantastic piece of fashion history and very wearable and chic. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in black silk. It zippers to close at the front and has pockets on each side. Perhaps the lightest of matting to the inside collar (supersize label photo to see). A teeny bit of wear here and there along the edges of the cuffs. Really beautiful condition. Note that these fit high and tight across the shoulders so even though the cut is generous through the body I have added the size of the interior arm hole - its top will sit at the top of the shoulder almost. If that works it will fit a variety of sizes

What a chic and pretty spring coat by the Lee Parker Originals label. The bright lime green color is fantastic and the cut is really special. It is like an instant pop of spring. It is cut on a pretty A-line swing that widens out from the more fitted shoulder and bust. The collar is kept neat and simple while little round green buttons adorn the front from the neck to the waist for a pretty finish. Under that row of buttons the coat has no closures and that helps to give it the lovely movement it has once one. The entire lower portion of the coat is set in wide pleats and these give it the prettiest look. It is just darling. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a green silky rayon and buttons to close at the front from the waist seam to the neck. No pockets along the front seams. Note that any yellow tone you see in the photos is just the light - it is slightly more a pastel lime then shown in real life and the color is entirely even. It is open though the waist but smaller fitting through the shoulders

This cape is utterly amazing and a true work of art. It has a hand stenciled pattern of leaves running through the black silk velvet that gives it the feel of the work that masters like Fortuny and Gallenga were doing at the time. I have actually always wondered about the true origins of this cape - it does have a label but the label is that of a departments store - Dey Borthers and co that originally opened in 1894. I have seen very similar pieces by Gallenga in particular sold but I can find no hidden signatures so it remains a mystery. It is certainly a high quality piece and I would not be surprised to find out it was indeed someone special. 

Luxurious black silk velvet drapes to perfection over you when you slip this wonderful cape on. The base is an inky black and the is covered with a leaf print. This print winds around the lower portion of the cape, around each shoulder and across the back, and then trails down the back on both sides.  Each leaf is a combination of taupe and soft dove grey with a slight metallic feel to it. These almost seem to glow with their own inner light. As the velvet fabric catches the light the colors changes and the leafs take on really wonderful quality. Keeping with this natural feel is an elaborate feather collar that circles the neck. It has dangling ends all the way around that add even more drama to this beautiful piece. Inside the cape is lined in a fine black silk. It has a single, large metal hook to close it at the neck and little velvet loops at each inner edge to slip your hands through if you wish. This is a beautiful example of a 1920s evening cloak. Excellent antique condition with one small note to review below.

Fully lined in a black silk and closes at the neck with a metal hook and eye. In excellent antique condition. I see a small amount of shattering on the upper edge that is totally hidden under the collar - probably from improper hanging. Other then that it looks virtually unworn. The feathers are in excellent condition and show no signs of shedding at all. The small flaws do not show when on and for a piece of this age I would still rate it as excellent. I see no other flaws and it appears to have been worn very little if at all and is wearable with the care it would deserve to be worn with. It is remarkably sound and shockingly beautiful. It is almost 100 years old and is considered to be in museum quality condition.

This is an amazing and statement making, super model length, black velvet great coat with a  quilted effect that runs over the surface from top to bottom. This is the type of coat that the sixties made famous - it has that perfect long and lean line that brings up the drama factor no matter what you wear it over. The bodice  is fitted and tops a long A-line, floor sweeping skirted bottom. Through the torso it is cut to be more fitted and I love the double row of buttons that run down the front. The large collar is cut so that it sits almost shoulder to shoulder when it is done up. The black cotton velvet gives it a depth and that quilting adds texture. The versatility of the black is wonderful and this is definitely a coat for a girl that wants to make and entrance. Excellent condition

The Nina Ricci Haute Couture house was founded in 1932, at 20 Rue de Capucines in Paris and became one of the pre-eminent couture ateliers in the world. IIn 1954, Jules-François Crahay, Madame Ricci’s design assistant, succeeded her as Artistic Director. The house’s style became structured; the signature curves of its silhouette elongated. Designer Gérard Pipart succeeded Jules-François Crahay in 1964. Throughout the following three decades, his Haute Couture vision celebrated a flamboyant woman and his ready-to-wear found a loyal following among the most stylish women of the day.

This coat came out of an estate of an extremely wealthy woman who was a regular couture client during the 1960s. For the 1965 collection Gérard Pipart debuted the side button closure that featured large button closures off to one side, a cloth version of which was photoed on Jean Shrimpton for Harper's Bazaar that year. I also found a reference photo for a similar all fur version. This version is a wonderful combination of the two. The exterior is a quilted silk in an ivory color and the fabric is especially beautiful. That 3D puff effect is not created by the stitching around the patterns that you normally see but by different weights of thread woven into the fabric to create the design. Inside it is lined a a thick sheepskin that makes it warm and cozy. The design of the coat itself is simple with structured lines. The front wraps over itself and buttons with that one large silk covered button near the arm. The edges are detailed with a thick padded piping that runs along the front, around the hem and circles the end of each sleeve. Pockets lie along the seam on each side. It is immaculate in its construction and an absolutely stunning coat. A beautiful example of how refined true Haute Couture can be. Excellent condition with one note to review below.

The entire coat is lined in sheepskin. It closes with the button at the front and there is a button and loop to hold it perfectly in pace on the interior as well. Finished to Haute Couture standards and entirely done by hand. I see no flaws and it appears to have been worn very little. Pockets along the seam. I see a small amount of fraying to the fabric around the back collar but it is stable and does not deter.

This coat is really a wonderful piece that focuses on the cut and fabric to convey the beauty of it. The fabric is a weighty cream silk brocade that has a horizontal "ribbing" from top to bottom that is  created by metallic gold threads. This creates a striping effect and gives the coat a subtle shimmer from head to toe. The cut is simple and is cut almost on a column with a slight flaring out as it nears the hem. The back is pure drama and feels like it is almost cut on  a curve that creates the volume that you see.  The fabric choice gives it a sculptural feel. It is absolutely incredible. The sleeves follow that same slight widening as they reach their hem. It closes with one single button at the front. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a heavy weight cream satin. One button closes it at the neck. The fabric has a good solid weight to it but once on is perfectly distributed. No pockets. Appears unworn. The open cut will allow it to fit a range of sizes as long as the shoulders work.

On the Burberry runway this was look #16 and was one of the chicest pieces of the Spring 2014 show. Its neutral feel worked perfectly over the soft pastels it was shown with. This is one of those pieces you reach for over and over because it will go with anything and is never out of style. It has a simple and classic cut that is loose and easy with volume through the body that is offset by the belt at the waist. With the belt you can change the silhouette from a more loose car coat feel to a cinched and chic trench feel. It has no closures other then the belt. It also has no collar but the suede is cut with a little excess fabric as it nears the neck so that you get a collar feel. Large top set pockets sit on either side of the hip for detailing. The suede used is ultra soft and supple. It is surprisingly light weight and moves very well while still retaining its intended shape. Excellent, unworn condition.

Unlined with a belt to close. Tagged a size 40. The loose and easy cut will allow it to work on a variety of sizes.

This is a wonderful late seventies, early eighties Ted Lapidus coat that is made of a combination of black velvet with suede and snakeskin detailing. The cut is easy to wear and it is the kind of coat that adds an instant shot of individuality to any outfit. His pieces always seem to have that a unique and luxurious feel to them. He was admitted to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in 1963 and and you can see the quality that runs through all of his work. The fabric is not super heavy once on and with the looser cut it really allows you to move as it skims over whatever you wear underneath. You could also cinch in the waist for more shape and to give the coat another look. I love the front detailing with its angular snakeskin trim and sharply cut pockets that are also trimmed in snakeskin.  It buttons down the front and on each cuff. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black silky rayon and buttons to close. Each cuff buttons to close. Front pockets
