This Vintage Black Velvet Fur Trimmed Hooded Opera Cape Coat with a gathered puff shoulder is a rare and unique accessory perfect for dressing up denim and a T, or evening out with a dress or leather. The fur trim has frayed, so we added a few fur swatches as pictured. The velvet is beautiful and lush, although there’s a light nick on right shoulder, pictured. There were a few minor repairs to upper right sleeve, and small spot on right front, as pictured. The beautiful large covered button also has a bit of a scuff as pictured. The hood is a beautiful touch. The gorgeous taffeta type, muslin-backed shoes no signs of wear. This one-size coat exudes a 1940’s vibe that is sure to make a statement. The black velvet material and fur trim add a touch of luxury and sophistication to any outfit, making it a versatile piece for a variety of special occasions.
Over time the fur trim will probably fray, so you can either wear as is for edge or add trim as you’d like.
