Estévez blond mink mini coat, 1970s
The amazing bias-cut, blond mink coat from Eztévez has a super luxe feel and look that will make you the center of attention. Whether you are indoors or outside in the frigid winter, you will be as cozy as a kitten by the fire in our luxurious mink coat. Gentlemen may prefer blonds, but blonds prefer mink coats.
The traditional rule for buying furs was to start with something less expensive like rabbit when you were young and work your way up to sable. However, it makes more sense to start at the top with a vintage designer fur that was very expensive when new. For the same price as a new low-end fur, you get top-of the-line, opulent fur with superb styling.
Made from blond mink, fully let out pelts, and lined with matching satin, the diagonal placement of the pelts gives the coat a slight swing shape—perfect for the mini length. The coat closes with one hook at the neckline. The neckline is framed with an ample collar. Each side has a 3"-slit for a belt that would pull the front in, leaving the back loose. When worn without a belt, as in the pictures, the slits do not show.
Starting out at Patou in Paris in the 1950s, Estévez went on to design under his own name to great acclaim in 1955. He was considered one of the brilliant young designers in the class of Galanos, Scaasi, and Sarmi. When Estévez retired in 1997, he left a void in the fashion world, where his sexy, feminine little black dresses were much sought after.
The condition is excellent. The fur is supple and soft.
It measures: 46" bust, flared below, 23" sleeve length, and 38" from shoulder to hem.
It was photographed on a mannequin that measures 36" bust, 25" waist, and 36" hip.
