Recently, I was inspired to make a mini collection of high end heirloom pieces. The collection is giving professional ex-wife, mob wife, rich, elite, and luxurious. This is the pinnacle of the collection. We are suckers for vintage Christian Dior. This 1960s Dior Quilted House Coat was in sad condition when we found it and was well worth trying to restore. Even in clean and wearable condition, house coats are not the most flattering or cool. We wanted to make this out-dated designer piece into something magnificent & adored. So why not alter it and add vintage fur! Now that best qualities of the original house coat are highlighted - the beautiful icy blue color, the sheen of the fabric, and the texture given to it all by the quilting! The vintage silver fox fur coordinates perfectly with its cool silver tone. The cuffs of the coat have quaint embroidered detailing. I am absolutely in love with this piece. The moment I put it on with my fringe boots, I was ready to take on the world.
CONDITION:
This one of a kind Dior upcycle is in restored vintage condition. The original Dior house coat was destined for the landfill, but we saw its potential. It went through a full restoration process, primarily deep stain removal. There may be some areas of faint discoloration, but I'll bet you can't find them. There are a couple of tiny dark spots in the lining. Spot clean, dry clean.
OUR STANCE ON FUR:
Our motto is "If we're not wearing it, we're wasting it." We only purchase fur that is vintage or secondhand, therefore our purchases/sales are not supporting the current fur industry. We 100% do not support the farming & killing of animals for their coats. However, in the case of vintage & secondhand furs, the deed has already been done. We hate the idea of boycotting ALL fur because if we're not wearing it, the life has been wasted, and for no purpose. In fact, fur (& silk) is one of the most eco-friendly fabrics because it will eventually fully decompose once in a landfill, unlike synthetic fabrics (& synthetic fur) made from plastic. Long story short, we are simply saving & appreciating what is already in existence so that it is not being wasted. <3
