Fur Cape
This is a Fur Cape. It is dated ca. 1925. Its medium is silk, mink, pate de verre beads.
With bright red beadwork forming a pagoda landscape, this elegant French cape embodies the influence of chinoiserie and color on the period’s fashions. In the 1920s fur styles favored mink as a luxurious accent or in full length as a coat. Oversized fur collars, seen here, were popularized by Hollywood stars.
