Vintage 50s Royal Furs Brown Mink Fur Stole Scalloped Cross Front Capelet Shoulder Wrap Mink stoles reached their peak popularity in the mid-1950s. They were the ultimate status symbol for middle - and upper-class women, often worn for evening events, church, or weddings. The "cross-front" design with scalloped ends (the long pieces that hang down) is a classic mid-century silhouette. This shade is often called "Autumn Haze" or "Pastel Mink". It was a highly sought-after natural brown shade during the 50s, for its warm, honey-toned highlights. Pieces from this brand were considered investment pieces. This high-end, custom-made piece was sold in an upscale Monterey County, CA store.
