I. Magnin mink trimmed velvet evening coat, late 1930s
The sumptuous silk velvet coat from I. Magnin shows the last flowering of 1930s glamour before the rationing of WWII. In this coat with an attitude, the plush mink trim signifies the woman who knows her value and expects the best!
With dramatic sleeves and flared skirt, the shapely cut is accentuated with bands of brown mink trim. The coat is lined with black satin. The clutch style has no closures.
This exceptional evening coat can be worn in the traditional manner with a long evening gown; or pair it with pants for a contemporary twist. However worn, the coat will make a strong fashion statement.
Here is the ultimate in style and elegance in clothing. True style always outlasts fashion, which by its nature is ephemeral. Fashion goes out of style, but genuine style never goes out of fashion. Elegance is polished, refined, urbane, restrained, measured but never overdone.
The coat is labeled "Mangone/New York/I. Magnin Distributors."
The condition is excellent. The fur is still soft and supple.
It measures: 40" bust and waist, 44" hip, 15" from shoulder seam to shoulder seam, 25" sleeve length (pushes up), 10" cuff circumference, and 43" from shoulder to front hem (longer in back).
