A beautiful vintage fur stole by Imperial, proudly labelled as made in Auckland, New Zealand. Fully lined and wonderfully tactile, this elegant piece has a lovely old world appeal. The fur has a slightly coarser texture, leading me to suspect it may be beaver, although the exact fur type has not been confirmed.

Fur stoles were once a treasured part of a woman's wardrobe, worn draped over the shoulders to add warmth and sophistication to dresses, tailored suits and eveningwear. In New Zealand, specialist furriers played an important role in the fashion industry throughout the early and mid twentieth century, creating, selling and remodelling fur garments for local customers. Auckland had an established fur trade by the early 1900s, with newspaper advertisements from 1920 documenting specialist furriers offering natural furs and expert garment renovation.

A lovely piece of New Zealand vintage fashion, with its local manufacturing connection and timeless elegance. Perfect for the vintage collector or anyone who appreciates the craftsmanship and character of bygone fashion.
