Great article. I was just discussing this with a friend of mine who purchased one of these coats for 10 bucks at a second hand shop and she was telling me she read online that it was possibly worth hundreds if not thousands. I did have to disagree though with those who would price it that high. Maybe it is based more on where we live (Paris) but these coats (the real ones) are dime a dozen here. I vintage and thrift a lot and come across at least one real one a week usually more and not one of them was over 100€…maybe it’s just supply and demand, but they really are not that rare. They were very popular for a very long time and there are still soooooo many of them out there that I don’t see how people could think they would be worth much.
Plus fur (unless it has a designer label) is like a car, as soon as you drive it off the lot it loses so much of it’s initial value.
That being said, love these coats and great guide to finding the real stuff vs fake 🙂
