This exquisite ethically resold vintage cape is crafted from genuine mink fur, showcasing the luxurious softness, natural sheen, and fluid drape that defined high-end mid-century outerwear. The silhouette features a gently rounded shoulder, rich chestnut-brown coloration, and a full, elegant sweep that creates effortless glamour whether worn over an evening dress or styled with modern separates.
The interior lining is beautifully embroidered with a monogram, a hallmark of custom-made or boutique furriers from the 1940s–1960s. The craftsmanship, density of pelts, and finishing details strongly suggest mid-century origin.
La Vintage Valise offers this piece solely as a preserved artifact of fashion history, honoring the craftsmanship of its era while acknowledging evolving cultural values around fur. We do not support modern fur production. By offering vintage furs, we aim to prevent historical garments from going to waste and allow collectors to preserve these pieces responsibly.
