Commonly referred to as a “shortie” in the 1960’s because of their cropped fit, coats like this one were extremely popular wardrobe “must-haves”, as the versatility of their style allowed them to be worn both as everyday coats and as formal outerwear. This Azurene mink shortie features a waist-length hemline, princess collar, ¾ length sleeves, and two silk-lined, slit style pockets at the front. Three pearlised, Lucite buttons adorn the front, adding an extra touch of elegance. It was made by the New York City furrier, Georges Kaplan using wonderfully thick and wide pelts, sewn in a horizontal orientation to accent the grey highlights of the cream coloured fur.

The coat is lined in a taupe demi-matte satin and has the initials “AW” embroidered in matching taupe thread on the right side of the lining.

A perfect addition to any wardrobe!
