Genuine Mink Fur Coat Womens Vintage 1950s Real Fur Calman Links London Uk
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at
Very rare opportunity to own a genuine mink fur coat from the 1950s - still in outstanding condition!
The mink fur was originally imported to London from Canada. Once here, the master craftsmen at Calman Links designed a unique and exquisite piece. Obviously, mink pelts were amongst the most expensive on the market back in the 50's so they were very careful to only create the best designs using the finest satin lining. Everything is hand stitched and the attention to detail is meticulous. We sell a lot of vintage furs and this is one of the best one we've seen for years - it's magnificent!
Please note these coats were made to one size. They are so luxurious and the fur is very dense so it will basically fit anyone between a medium to large. I've put all the measurements below so you can compare with one of your own.

Condition
This is the best part! Even though the coat is over half a century old it is in outstanding condition. These were very expensive luxury items (basically the equivalent of an expensive car now - much more than just diamonds or a Rolex). Very few people could afford such finery and even if they could it would only be used a couple of times a year. This example is one of the best we've ever seen. It was always stored in it's own protective case and hung in a dry wardrobe so no nasty insects or damp has ever got anywhere near it. The fur is in such good condition it could have been sewn this morning! Most importantly, there is no colour fading to the fur, no bald patches, no signs of wear whatsoever. Not a single stray thread or loose stitch. The satin lining shows light signs of wear - it's 70 years old - but again no loose stitching, wear or tears. Someone really loved this coat and treated it with the respect it deserves. I hope it now finds a new home where it's new guardian will love it just as much - this is so much more than just a coat. It represents the most beautiful design from the Golden age of tailoring
