A B O U T

An exquisite example of mid-century outerwear, this 1950s black wool swing coat embodies the era’s love of clean lines, luxurious textures, and dramatic silhouettes. Cut in a classic full A-line shape that floats gracefully away from the body, the coat moves with an effortless elegance—equally suited to evening wear or polished daytime ensembles.

Its standout feature is the plush ivory mink collar, exceptionally soft and beautifully preserved, framing the face with a luminous contrast against the deep black wool. A charming self-fabric bow sits just below the collar, adding a touch of feminine charm. 

The front showcases oversized decorated wool buttons, arranged in a double-breasted configuration and echoing the hand-finished couture touches typical of better American and European makers of the late 1950s. Raglan sleeves lend ease and fluidity, while discreet vertical welt pockets offer practicality without disturbing the clean line of the coat.

Fully lined in luxurious satin crepe and meticulously tailored, this piece exemplifies the understated luxury and impeccable construction that defined postwar fashion. A timeless, heirloom-quality coat that elevates any wardrobe.

In excellent condition, freshly cleaned and ready to wear.
