Pearl Mahogany Mink:
Hakone Collection #3

— Pearl Mahogany two-tone mink fur coat (100% real European mink fur). A striking two-tone vertical striped mink coat constructed by a Japanese master furrier using two distinct mutations of mink in their natural coloration; Pearl mink and Mahogany Mink. Classic A-line coat with traditional collar. Has three metal fasteners, pockets, and subtle shoulder padding. Hem ends just past the knees on a 5'6" woman. Pearl mink is particularly popular in Japan, as it was a fur worn by Empress Michiko.

— This coat was made bespoke by an elite fur salon (Mitsukoshi or Takashimaya) in the early 1980s. This can be deduced from the overall design, the hand-stitched braid trim, and the jacquard satin lining with interior tie. The fur must be from Saga, Emba, or Kopenhagen, as those are the salons only suppliers. It would have sold for about $5000 at the time.

— The Hakone Collection is our most premier selection, sourced from the historic resort towns surrounding Mt. Fuji frequented by Tokyo’s elite. To protect from the intense Japanese summer, this valuable collection is currently preserved in our climate-controlled archive. After extraction from deep storage, coats are hand-brushed and dehumidified (please allow 5 business days dispatch time for these items).

— Excellent condition. Pre-owned but very well kept. No suntanning, which is rare for pearl mink. No noticeable wear, marks or damage. Tiny mark on placket (see last photo). No hair loss.
