Hello!
I have recently gone down the rabbit hole of fur capelets, stoles, and coats. In trying to research and become more educated I came across this forum and the wealth of knowledge you all have.
I just purchased my first fur capelet and let me just say, it is now the fanciest thing in my closet, and I want to wear it everywhere ha! It was listed as "vintage", but I think it is a more modern/recent "vintage" (but please correct me if I am wrong.)
I would love help in identifying the type of fur and year if that is possible. It was advertised as mink, but as I've read on the forums here, muskrat seems to be easily mistaken as mink. I also looked at the Fur Resource, but with my ignorance in this field I am just not confident in my ability to correctly identify the fur.
There doesn't seem to be any guard hairs, it is fairly light-weight, and it is ridiculously soft. I will include pictures I downloaded from the original listing as well as the ones I just took upon receiving it (which were not taken in natural light). Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you so much.
