Furs by Sonya, Cleveland This mink stole is kind of a smoky blonde... you might call it ash blonde... I think it's a natural shade of mink. It is in excellent condition, the only wear I find is in the lining around the back of the neck, but the fur is in great condition. It's only minor wear in the lining, see last pics. In the last pic you can see that the stitches have come loose a little. It's not bad, but it could easily be repaired.
