Description: | Opera coats made of lavish fabric with high fur collars, which framed the face, were extremely popular in the 1920s and 30s. Fox, and particularly silver fox, was the favoured fur of the period. As the furrier J.G.Links observed, 'to be bereft of fox was to be almost naked'. This coat has a collar of Arctic fox, which was extremely expensive, as it was rarer and difficult to work with due to the thiness of the skin. Similar coats are found in catalogues priced at from sixteen and a half guineas. Handley Seymour was a long-established London court dressmaker. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1929 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
