I have heard a lot of people say these little Persian Lamb Fur jackets with mink Collars are horrible and frumpy looking. I beg to disagree! I think they are adorable when properly styled. Look at these two girls! They looked fantastic in the 1960s and would look equally so today. It is simply a question of properly styling the jackets. Going back to the original advertisements like this one will give you ideas for styling. Note that the jackets have mink collars to frame the face and bracelet sleeves to allow you to show off a pair of beautiful vintage gloves. White gloves are shown here but black ones in cloth or leather look good too. I think these two women would turn heads anywhere they went today.
Below I show images of Persian Lamb Jackets and Coats from my stores that were made in the 1960s during the heyday popularity of this fur. The coats are truly beautiful in person. They were very popular in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. They were also popular with Russians. Two Russian Ballet people that I knew wore Persian lamb coats – they both happened to be men: none other than Rudolf Nureyev and Igor Schwezoff both of whom cut dashing figures in their Persian Lamb hats and coats on the winter streets of NYC and London. Nureyev was well known for his penchant for fur coats.
The jacket above is not Persian Lamb. It is a Soutache Ribbon Hand embroidered Jacket made in a similar style to the Persian Lamb Jackets and popular during the same MCM fashion era. These two types of jackets were often displayed together in Department stores as the Latest Fashions From Paris.
All the Persian Lamb Jackets and Coats shown above are available in my Poshmark and Etsy shops and I am regularly adding more since it is one of my personal favorite types of fur. The sizes and other information on these coats are described in detail in the individual listings in my online shops. Please visit to take a look.
