The look is pure Old Hollywood Glamour.
This is truly a rare FINDZ. My father told me that this was possum, and as the lining (distinctive pattern) shows it comes from the 1940s during the New Zealand possum control days. It is a very soft and warm fur.
The lining is in prefect condtion, hand sewen label, no monograms and straps all excellent.
Size: one size fits most
Condtion: excellent
Tag:Nigbor Furs
Dimensions: 58 inches long! Widest point 15 inches, stole top 7 inches.
Did you know ?
When you buy Possum products you are helping the environment. The Common Brushtail Possum was introduced to New Zealand by European settlers in an attempt to establish a fur industry. They soon escaped into the wild where they have thrived as an invasive species with great numbers: around 70 million individuals estimated in 2009. There are no native predators of the possum in New Zealand. There have been numerous attempts to eradicate the NZ Possum because of the damage they do to native trees and wildlife, as well as acting as a carrier of bovine tuberculosis. For New Zealand, the introduction of possums has resulted in as much of an ecological disaster as the introduction of rabbits has been in Australia. (from shopnewzealand.com)
