This vintage piece came to us after years of being in storage. It was just professionally cleaned.
Overall in good vintage condition. Liner is fully in tact. We did find one small spot missing fur that is really not noticeable when wearing. One of the pockets is beginning to tear and could use a quick needle and thread while it is still small. Tons of life left in the beautiful, classic piece!!
