Condition
The coat is in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting exceptionally dense, full-bodied natural mink fur with a lustrous sheen and absolutely no signs of shedding, balding, or pelt stiffness.

The original workshop labels and custom monogramming remain crisply defined and free of fraying, and all structural stitches, edge borders, and interior closure fastenings are completely intact and fully functional, presenting a highly preserved collector's piece that is clean and ready for immediate wear or gallery presentation.
