A B O U T

A true luxury statement from the golden age of Scandinavian fur design, this 1970s reversible coat by Birger Christensen of Copenhagen epitomizes jet set glamour. Renowned as one of Denmark’s premier furriers—founded in 1869 and celebrated internationally for exquisite craftsmanship—Birger Christensen creations were favored by royalty, socialites, and the fashion elite throughout the 20th century.

This exceptional piece offers two distinct looks in one:

~Plush mink side: Features supple panels of natural mink in a soft golden-beige hue, with rich sheen and elegant fluidity. The coat is finished with a rounded mink collar, cuffed sleeves, and suede tie closures at the waist for understated sophistication.

~Suede side: A sleek, tailored design in buttery brown suede, detailed with tonal leather trim and accented with the same mink collar and cuffs. The suede side highlights the craftsmanship of paneled construction, making it ideal for daytime wear with a more contemporary edge.

The coat’s silhouette is long and lean, falling below the knee with a graceful sweep that balances warmth and elegance. Functional tie closures and deep pockets provide both practicality and style. Chic and exceptionally warm and cozy. In excellent condition, clean and ready to wear.
