Mink Fur is a fashion staple of a wealthy woman through most of history. And (in my opinion) the height of fashion from the 1920s to the 1950s. Then they became almost none existent by the mid 1960s. Today they are making a real come back. Flapper parties and flapper inspired weddings are bringing these ageless beauties back to life. I love the golden age of glamour and I hope they stick around in fashion for awhile.
-- Great vintage condition. Two stains and some rubs at the neck on the inside lining. Also a very small fray in the silk under the arms on the lining. none of this is seen when wearing. And does not detract at all from how stunning this beauty is! -- a note - vintage mink often has a faint vintage fur smell, every mink I have ever owned has had it and I have had hundreds over my many vintage dealer years. This is completely natural and due to the nature of the type of fur. Anyone that says that vintage fur has no smell is nose blind.
