Buyer's Premium:

A vintage hip-length jacket crafted from real rabbit fur, dyed in a deep burgundy colour. The garment features a boxy silhouette typical of the early 1980s, with broad notched lapels and a wide collar. It is designed with full-length set-in sleeves and a colour-matched synthetic lining. Two interior labels are present; a care label which specifies the item is real fur, notes it is prone to shedding, and lists an address in Rayners Lane, London. A second label identifies the country of origin as Hong Kong. The inscription R.S. 81 indicates a production or stock year of 1981.


Condition report:

The jacket is in vintage condition with visible signs of age and wear. The fur shows matting and clumping, particularly on the sleeves and lower front. The interior labels exhibit significant brownish staining and discolouration. As noted on the original care label, this garment is prone to shedding.
