About the Item

Custom made for its owner in 1971 and professionally stored since, this one-of-a-kind ranch mink coat is remarkable both for its beauty and its practicality. Its horizontal 5” pelts create a striking modern geometry and accentuate the swing of the princess skirt. Most importantly however, its clever zip off hem converts the floor length silhouette to tea length for endless versatility. When unzipped, the 10” hem can also be worn as a mink stole (brooch shown not included in purchase). Brilliant. Full-length ranch mink princess coat; full notched collar coverts to high neck when closed at throat and funnel neck when closed around chin. Bracelet length sleeves and silk lined pockets each side. 10” zip off hem converts coat from full length to tea length, and hem may be used as stole.
