High society delighted in fur stoles and they have seen a revival in vintage clothing as well as glamorous winter weddings.

This particular brown mink stole was top of the line in its day. It was sold under the Shillitos label.
Shillitos was an elegant store complete with a tea room. It carried excellent quality furs. The store became a landmark in Cincinnati.

This is called a Pastel, a natural brown mink. All of this means that it is not dyed and it is a thick, luscious fur. It is commonly referred to as Autumn Haze or light brown.

The lining is a taupe satin. There are no holes, tears or stains. This has been crafted by stylists. They molded the shoulder so that it stays on the person more easily. There are initials, but they are tabs which have been hand tacked onto the lining. They could be easily removed or replaced.

This is a quality fur.

The ends are 8" wide. Notice that the fur is sewn to create a curve. This meant that the furrier was more skillful.

In the back, from the collar seam to the bottom of the stole, it measures 17.5" There are two 6" pockets. We placed a yellow tissue in one so that you could see it more easily. From the collar seam, across the shoulder to the bottom side is 19". (This is like measuring a sleeve.)

The collar in the back is 6" wide. It is lined with fur. This really means that when it is being worn, the collar can be worn flipped up in the back.

This appears to be a medium size. It would probably fit from a size 6 to a size 14. Please read the measurements. We are not experts at sizing. Having said that, stoles are the one item of clothing in which size is not as important.

This stole is in excellent condition. It is clean, soft and supple. There are no tears, wear spots or stains. Although we wish to sell, we prefer to have loyal, satisfied, repeat customers. We do this by fully describing every flaw that we see. You may buy with confidence.

The price includes free shipping and free insurance.
