Rare Late 1950s, Early 1960s Mod Snakeskin Coat

This fabulous late 50s, early 60s coat could be straight off the runway for fall 2015, Miu Miu's in particular as you can see from the photos I have included of the recent runway show. It is actually remarkable how similar the peices are in cut and feel. The only big difference is of course the price, from what I can ascertain the Miu Miu pieces will be prices well over 15k so you are certainly getting the same look for significantly less. The coat is so chic and fresh feeling with its loose cut and slouchy feel. It literally will fit like the photos you see of the runway pieces. The skins used are still supple and soft with minimum aging or wear. The collar is simple and neat and the front closes with huge buttons that have a snake skin center. A flap pocket sits on each hip and I love how these are dropped and add to the slouchy, cool feel the cut of the coat gives it. It is cut generously through the body so is great for layering. It is a good light weight and feels amazing on. Excellent condition

Fully lined in a black silky rayon and buttons to close with three buttons at the front. The skins are in excellent condition as is the lining
