Natural Beaver Fur Stroller Coat Canadian Long Haired sz M L 1970s Does 1940s:
$38.50

Stunning vintage 1970s Canadian natural beaver coat with 1940s puff shoulder styling in a luxurious high-end fabrication. There is no maker\'s label apart from the \"made in Canada\" label in the neckline, but it appears to be a fine fur by, I\'m certain, a top tier Canadian maker.
The fur is incredibly luxurious, and the fabrication is expert fur tailoring, for a chic timeless silhouette that looks modern at any time. There are no size tags, but I will call this a 10 to 12 (I have also detailed the measurements below).
I am selling this as an as-is wear-now coat; the exterior has no issues, no seam rips that I can find, or drying out of the fur. The lining has some issues, though no major rips or seam issues. See my condition report above.
This is a fabulous coat for someone who can overlook the lining issues, or for someone looking to reline a quality fur coat to make it perfect for the years to come. The lining is labeled \"Georgia,\" the former owner. Fully lined in matte satin taffeta. Pockets on the outside, both working and in fine condition. Sold as-is.

About me: I am a NYC-based photo & video prop stylist, set designer, & interior decorator for magazines like Real Simple, Instyle, Modern Luxury & others. I have lived in NYC for 30 years since the late 80s and have been in and around fashion and retail for decades. I am a stealth shopping/ sourcing powerhouse, and can locate an antique or a special prop for a photo shoot, movie set, or fashion designer with my eyes closed. I started my career in New York City in the late 1980s dressing display windows at Henri Bendel & the elegant Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in the glory days of real story-telling windows. It was there that I learned the art of styling designer clothing & creating an aspirational & romantic mood with merchandise that helps build a relationship with the clothes we wear, and the emotion that people have with properly presented merchandise. I had access to the finest luxury designer clothing like Claude Montana, Pauline Trigere, Coco, Mr Beene and others, and learned about expert seam construction, the feel of good fabrics, the details that matter, and the high tech fabrics that are constantly innovating the marketplace. It was also a time (the 80s) when the shift in the social food chain began to change, a time when the Ladies Who Lunch began to be replaced by a new moneyed group who changed the way retail was conducted, and I always longed for the days when shopping was an event, a treat, and “madame” was served champagne in dressing rooms and the clothes were not thrown on rounder racks in discount departments.

Being around such glamorous clothing it was hard to not learn about what separates quality clothing from fast fashion, and I bolstered my fashion history knowledge with constant learning about the names of yesteryear and the designers who were the innovators in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, and am always learning more, to learn how modern clothes spring forth from their predecessors. My grandmother Gladys Schuck ran the Cancer Association Thrift Shop in Westport, CT in the 1960s and as a child I helped sort boxes of donated clothing, and she would tell me stories about the designers and the fabrics, and I learned a great deal about vintage clothing from her; my mother, after raising her children, was an antique dealer and sale and estate sale maven, so I learned from her all the time.

I started buying vintage clothing at flea markets & estate sales on my own, and have built an incredible collection, much of it coming up for sale here on (along with consignments from my fashion industry and magazine industry cohorts). My mother also wore lots of Bonnie Cashin in the 1960s and 1970s so I was aware of the modern minimalists, and sought them out for her when I found them.

These days, in addition to home decorating, home organizing, and photo styling for photo shoots, I sell some of my vintage finds here on . I am also a home organization expert, the \"Clutter Coach\" for REAL SIMPLE magazine. Since I’m shopping constantly, and love fancy estate sales and sample sales, I scour them regularly and with great skill; the result is an online shop that I consider a finely curated collection of vintage clothing, home accessories, & mid century odds and ends from high end homes in the New York City area.

I also take consignments from fashion stylists & fashion editors I know in NYC who have packed closets filled with designer garments they bought, received as gifts from designers, or used on photo shoots and are in perfect condition--all sold here & ready for new fashionistas to enjoy them.

* I have proudly sold tons of clothing and props to film and television prop and wardrobe departments including Masters of Sex, The Mysteries of Laura, Boardwalk Empire, The Carrie Diaries, and the one with Don Draper (you cannot use the name of the show in items or they take them down). I love helping source stuff, and just KNOW that I have tons more stuff than is listed here, so if you are in film or television production just ask for specifics and I will probably have something for you, or be able to understand what you are looking for without wasting your time. I have been in the biz and know how it works. That said, I am happy to serve filmproductionwardrobe departments and set designers and set prop people, socontactme with any queries about specific items you are looking for. I am a good andreliableresource.

Cheers!
