1980s-90s Yves Saint Laurent Dark Brown Mink Swing Car Coat Jacket w Pockets

This has been in my archives for a while now and it is a lovely little jacket by Yves Saint Laurent that most likely is from the later 80s or early 90s. The colour is a rich deep chocolate and the fur is supple, soft and very shiny. The jacket is cut in a classic swing car coat style and it is a piece that you just slip on and it has no closures down the front. There are pockets on each side of the front and it is cut with a full flare as it nears the hem. The sleeves are cut straight and full to the wrist. At the wrist they have a 2" cuff and the fur has been gathered into the cuff in little pleats to create a bit of a pouf effect above the wrist. The collar is a neat and sits up to frame the neck. It has been properly stored and cared for and appears to have been worn very little if at all. No splitting or shedding. It is a lovely example of the work from this label during this period of its history. Excellent condition with a minor note below.

Fully lined in a deep brown silk that has the YSL logo running over it. Slit pockets on each side at the front. I see no bald spots or shedding, the pelts are supple, soft and shiny. Perhaps slight wear at edges of the sleeves and very edge of the hem, but very minor and mentioned for full accuracy. For a vintage fur I still rate this as excellent. The fur has been professionally cleaned. It has a minor touch of a vintage smell to it, but is still supple and is stable with no signs of excessive shedding that would indicate that it is breaking down. 

Sleeves: approx 22.5" and is 20" around the upper arm
Shoulders: approx 15"
Bust: to 26" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist-hips: open
Length: 37" from neck to hem

Modern Sizing Equivalent: SML-MED

Item# DD4865

All items are thoroughly checked over before shipping. Unless noted everything in our shop has been professionally cleaned. All sales are final. Overseas clients will be emailed to obtain agreement to our final sales policy before the order is shipped as per our return policy.

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.
