WINTER CHIC: THE BLACK MINK FUR COAT.

Fashion trends come and go, but one that exudes timeless style is the fur coat - with all due respect to animal rights activists. A fur jacket is one statement outerwear no fashionista should be without, when temperatures start to drop. A chic piece which not only keeps you nice and snug, but can also single handledly glam up any ensemble. Once upon a time, fur coats were quite a niche look: either super rich socialite, or granny-chic style, you know. Anyway, I love fur coats and think that certain items of clothing are more than just coverage against the elements, but can have great significance, whether it be sentimental value, an interesting history, a symbol of an achievement, or some other meaning. So, if you, like me, are neither a grandma nor a rich socialite, and instead had a 9-5 job, a tube ride/car drive to work every day, and just a strong a penchant for fashion, well then, you really don’t need to wait until you make your first million, or reach the beautiful age of say 60 to be socially acceptable in a fur

coat. During these last cold winter weeks, even if, actually, cold is not so bitter as expected, a recent addition to my outerwear collection and also a wonderful birthday present from last December has become a staple in my closet: a bespoke, black, medium length, mink fur coat, supple, elegant, versatile, perfect to be worn with both pants and skirts/dresses. It was purchased at Pellicceria Contemporanea - Brescia Facebook: @vintagecontemporaneobrescia, Instagram: @vintagecontemporaneofirme, a store located in the historic centre of Brescia. Carla and Ilenia, the obliging and helpful owners, with the co-operation of specialised craftsmen, chooses the materials accurately and sells these luxury pieces of outerwear, keeping very low prices thanks to high stock turnover rates. So, if you think that the downside of buying a fur coat is finding the right one without breaking the bank, you don't need to either chase the retail chains for latest faux fur trends out there, or just find a great fur sale to get your lust quenched: this will be the suitable address for you. 
The collection in store will catch your eye, since it reinterprets classic heritage glamour with contemporary volumes and feminine appeal, as well as the essence of chic but never ostentatious luxury. The Maison's laboratories, located in Milan area, can create "made-to-measure" garments, following your special requests for colours and sizes, shaped with the natural hues of beige, brown, grey, and black, while daring with a few accurate touches of colour. The use of precious materials, ranges from sable to fox and mink furs, weaving them according to a mannish sartorial style that marks the store's timeless values of elegance. The concept of styling is revealed, renewed as well as linked to the shop's identity also in the collection of vintage and regenerated branded clothes, cashmere knitwear, and accessories, selected directly from US stores.
