Vintage Black Ranch Mink Belted Trench Coat Christian Dior 1980s Womens Medium
This gorgeous vintage Christian Dior black mink coat has an interesting history; the coat is a beautiful black/mahogany mink full pelt that was handpicked from Christian Dior in NYC ( according daughter of the owner). The coat was then tailored by Lisle T Miller Co. it has been kept in cold storage and only worn a handful of times. The fur is black with deep mahogany undertones. The belt is matching fur. There are 2 fabric-covered furrier closures at the bust and waist. The lining is a deep chocolate brown with beautiful embroidered roses along the bottom.
The coat does have a personalized tag on it that reads "Christian Dior for XXXX XXXX ( The original owner's name)- you can probably have the name removed by a fur expert if it bothers you. The other label is Lisle T. Miller, a top furrier. This coat cost over $8,000 to make in the 1980s. This is your chance to own a STUNNING piece that is so unique and perfect- no one else will have one exactly like it!
