This exceptional 1950s silk lined tourmaline mink fur caplet is by American mink fur furrier collective EMBA, a group that specialised in rare and sought after shades of mink pelt for high end markets. This pale ivory or "tourmaline" toned fur caplet is of superb quality and in incredible vintage condition with some exquisite design features. Designed to be worn over the shoulders, the caplet has a wrap over front fastening with concealed hook and eye closures, and a concealed silk waistband to draw in beneath the bust. The cape is artfully cut at the elbow to form separate sleeve features that can be fastened around the arm with concealed hook and eyes. The opulent ivory silk lining is trimmed around the interior hem and collar with a decorative silk chord and is in absolutely fabulous vintage condition. The fur displays very well with only gentle signs of wear, no shedding or thinning present. Would suit a range of sizes. US 4-10, UK 8-14.
