Vintage Faux Fur Teddy Style Tiered Coat
Unbranded (Label partially visible, appears to be a Boutique or Private Label) · Clothing & Accessories > Outerwear > Faux Fur Coats
Era / Decade
1970s / Early 1980s based on the 'shag' texture, paisley-style lining, and oversized collar.
Material
Likely Acrylic/Polyester blend (faux fur). The lining is likely polyester or acetate with a retro print.
Condition
Very Good. The fur appears fluffy without significant matting, but the weight of the coat and the hangers used suggest potential shoulder stress or minor lining wear.
Demand Level
Strong. High demand during autumn and winter months, particularly with the 'Mob Wife' and '70s Rockstar' trends currently popular on social media.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value

Comparable Sales

Description
Stunning vintage 1970s faux fur coat featuring a tiered, horizontal stripe pelt design. This coat boasts a large notched lapel collar, a length that hits below the knee, and a beautiful patterned satin-feel lining. The colorway is a mix of chocolate brown, tan, and cream mimicking natural raccoon or fox fur. Perfect for Penny Lane, Boho, or Glam aesthetics.
Key Features
Oversized 'Mob Wife' aesthetic, tiered horizontal construction, retro patterned lining, large statement collar, and current trend appeal for vintage faux fur.
Authenticity Indicators
Visual 'sheen' of the fur indicates synthetic fibers rather than real pelt. The visible neck label is characteristic of mid-century mass-market boutiques. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Potential 'crunchiness' or dryness of the faux fur fibers (common with age), potential thinning at the elbows/cuff, and any musty odors common in vintage storage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (best for vintage style), Etsy (best for curated vintage), or Poshmark (broad audience). Local consignment in a trendy urban area would also perform well.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Penny Lane', 'Wolf Coat', '70s Vintage', and 'Boho Glam'. Do not dry clean with heat as it melts faux fur; use a professional cleaner. Photograph a 'fit pic' to show the silhouette.
