Funky Fur

Chubbies have become quite popular, but most people don’t know their popularity began in the 1940s. This one is simply gorgeous: fluffy, warm, a great color and so unique. With skinny jeans you’d have a wonderfully modern silhouette. Satin lined, and satin panels are inserted under the arms to avoid too much bulk (a wonderful design element you often see in 40s furs.) Measures 21″ long, 18″ sleeves. Will fit a 2-6.

Ermine is one of the most desirable and elusive furs. Used primarily in the 20s and 30s, few pieces remain and few have been preserved like this bolero. It’s flawless, the fur supple and clean, the silk lining perfect. The style is one that I look for because I love fur that can be dressed down, and boleros work well with a t-shirt and jeans. It would be equally amazing as a cover up for a wedding dress! Rhinestone closure is stunning. Measures 13-1/2″ long, 21″ shoulder to shoulder. Difficult to measure, but I would say it works for a size 4-8.

A stole provides warmth and tons of versatility. Over a jacket and jeans, an evening gown or cocktail gown, or covering up a t-shirt, it works in a variety of ways for a variety of occasions. Everyone should have one in their wardrobe. Measures approximately 19″ long in front, 16″ long in back.

There’s no more fashionable accessory than a fur vest right now. I wear mine layered with cashmere on the coldest winter days and I’m plenty warm. This vest has two contrasting furs…rabbit with fox trim…and has loads of style. When zipped it measures 39″ bust and 23″ long. Tag reads “Niki Neiman Marcus Size 12.”
