1930s Black Fur Jacket with Ornamental Buckle

About the Item

*Please note, that we will not be able to export this jacket overseas - it must be sent to a UK address, collected in-person or picked up by a courier from our London showroom.* This 1930s jacket is tailored from sleek black colobus monkey fur and is one of the highest quality jackets from this era that Circa has seen in 25 years of business. This fur was used by famed designed Elsa Schiaparelli throughout the 1930s and ‘40s. Marilyn Monroe, Mick and Bianca Jagger, Loulou de la Falaise, Kate Moss and Michele Lamy have all been photographed in these cover ups. This glossy jacket has a boxy construction, with large shoulder pads and a cropped length - the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful evening gown. It fastens at the neck with a decadent ornamental buckle detailed with metalwork shaped into art nouveau motifs. This cover-up is also secured with large, fabric-covered hook-and-eyes along the front. The jacket is lined with matte black silk for a comfortable, luxurious wear. In fantastic vintage condition with no faults of any note; the fur is in particular fine condition, very supple and not shedding. Likely a bespoke piece made by a high end couturier or fur atelier, it has no labels so please check our measurements below. We believe that this would fit a range of sizes between a UK 6-10, US 2-6. *Please note, that we will not be able to export this jacket overseas - it must be sent to a UK address, collected in-person or picked up by a courier from our London showroom.* MEASUREMENTS BUST - 38 in.
