About the Item

This coat is simply amazing - an exquisite Blin + Blin custom couture wool and mink fur coat circa the 1950s. The luxurious mink fur accents and highest quality tailoring make this piece a truly elegant choice for the colder months. The coat is absolutely luxurious and the quality of the wool is unmatched by anything you'll find today; it's soft, supple, and has a wonderful feel on the skin. The coat has a loose, cocoon swing coat silhouette with bracelet-length bell sleeves accented by three bands of plush mink. The collar is further accented with mink. There's a floral wreath-shaped button closure with snaps at the neckline, and two front pockets. Fully lined. This is a coat you will wear and treasure for a lifetime. Excellent condition. Tags include a Blin+Blin 1827 maker's tag stamped with the custom order number of 304102. Estimated best fit is a modern size M-L. Please check your measurements to ensure a good fit, remembering to leave room for garments and movement for comfort. Shoulder to Shoulder: 17" Bust: 44" Waist: 44" Hips: 44" Sleeve Length: 20" Collar to Hem: 38.5" About Blin+Blin: Blin et Blin was a family-run French company founded in 1827 in the Alsace area of France which later moved to Normandy when the region was annexed to Germany. Blin+Blin specialized in the manufacture of luxury woolen cloth. During the 1920s it opened subsidiaries in Northern France and Britain and became one of France's leading woolen manufacturers. Blin+Blin supplied the Lilli Ann design house, one of the most collectible US mid-century vintage brands. Blin+Blin ceased operations in 1974, largely because they could no longer profitably produce the extremely high level of quality the family insisted upon. Finding a Blin+Blin coat means you're in for a rare treat that's nearly unobtainable in today's market.
