It's so soft! In case you are not familiar with the process, furs are shaved to leave just the amazingly soft bottom layer. You can hardly feel the surface against your cheek(s). And the incredible artistry in design and cutting is something that will get you hot under the collar. All of those little lines in the design are individually cut pieces of fur. The "ruffle" on the collar is made of lots of little cut strips. The lining, as you can see, is also sharp as a tack. This coat is incredible. This coat has always been in professional storage each summer, worn very little because she was afraid it would get something spilled on it or she would lose it. What a woosie!...but I love her. We have always had it insured for $6,500.00 , the price we paid for it. The company from whom we bought it promised that there is no other exactly like it...the design is unique in all the world. Buy it before she changes her mind. When we hear from a few seriously interested parties, we'll go get it out of storage. Stimulate the economy now!
