I have two faux fur teddy bear type coats which I need date confirmation on please. I've researched on line but both makes of coats were around across decades. But from other info I think:

First one Mini Barmink (I love that name!) Courtaulds Courtelle I date as mid to late 1960s?

The second one Marno Mink for Glenn Models is an older one than the ones I've seen on Ebay as it states Furrier Clean Only and new ones state Dry Clean Only, so I date this as late 1970s, even early 80s?

Where do you get all these fab vintage clothes? Don't say it - 'if I told you I'd have to kill you!' ha! These are great coats Sarah and I think you're 'bang-on' with the dates too (late 70's for the second one). Just lurverly!!! :)
 
:headbang: Thanks Louise for reply. Luckily I find my UK vintage goodies many miles away from you, otherwise it'd be :USEROCKY: over the goodies!

I'm so pleased I've got the dates right & it's great to get confirmation as it gives me the confidence when I'm selling at the fair.

I personally love the first coat, not so keen on 2nd one...hmmm I have't tried the 1st coat on, wonder if it'll fit me :dogs:

:party: you are on fire girl - your dates are BANG on as far as I'm concerned!! Whoo hoo!!! Sweet coats, man I'm addicted to the faux furs lol - I got a real fur last week (it's got some damage) and I'm just taking back to the thrift shop for re-donation, it's so ...yuck - but faux furs :) they are sweet! Love yours!

ROFL I agree, I currently have 3 in my own collection 2 others I am suppose to be selling, but it is very hard, the style fits any size, they're classy and warm and well addicting lol...I'm my own best customer lol
 
haha... yes resist..unless you sel to support the habit.... I buy in bulk... the great rare stuff i try on, if it fits good I keep it because finding clothes that seem made for you are worth it at all costs. I hope to only wear vintage clothes (except grubbies) soon,,, i'm half way there lol...

anywho I have tried stuff on i boiught to sell and NONE of it left my closet.. so if you need your money back then I agree RESIST lol
 
I like fur stoles, which is my secret addiction as won't go outdoors wearing one for obvious reasons, but a fur stole is mighty warm on a chilly evening.

Yes, I like the first one, not that keen on 2nd as not a lot of shape.

As far as keeping that first coat.....I DID NOT resist, I DID try it on and...it was too small darn it....was for the best though!!!
