50's Deep Auburn Fur Collar with Blue Satin Tie$45.00
Warm your neck in elegant, mink style with this resurrected fur collar!
I'm not really sure quite how old this fur is, could actually be from as late as the 1890's, up to possibly the 1960's. When I found this collar, I was entranced by the deep auburn red tone of the fur. I have some experience identifying fur and I believe this to be mink, or another animal with similar sheen, softness and guard hairs. The entire collar is made up of ten individual, smaller sections of fur that have been pieced together, with natural and unfinished edges. I took a scrap of vintage denim, cut it to scale and attached the collar, all around the edges. I added a hook + eye closure and bright blue satin ribbon ties, for a splash of color. Overall condition is good, with some delicate areas (I would be extra kind to this piece when wearing it!) and light wear to seams, which is why it was reinforced onto the denim fabric. Fur should always be stored in a dark, climate-controlled area (not too dry, not too humid) to extend its life.
Measurements:
- 5.75" width at widest section
- 24" length at longest section
- 19.5" length satin ties
