Chocolate brown stole in wonderful condition.
From Weiner's Furs in Haverhill, Mass,
it is made of the softest of mink fur,
lined with a burgundy jewel tone silk,
with a raised print of a Hansom cab.
Your hands will be warm in the two front pockets,
and its tailored shoulders
give this stole the fitted look
of today's shrugs with the
classic style of a vintage fur.

The collar on this striking piece can be flipped up
for added neck warmth and style appeal.
It has slit pockets in the front for your hands,
a matching silk lining with a raised pattern
and two hook and eye closures.
This fur is perfect for sliding over a sweater
to make a dazzling casual look,
pair it up with fancier attire for the holidays,
or make it a funky new addition
to an already unique wardrobe.

This beautiful deep brown/black faux fur coat
with wide collar and deep front pockets
is fully lined and in perfect condition.
The waist can be cinched inside and out,
giving it modern appeal.
With loop and button closures
at the waist and collar,
you'll be warm and stylish deep into winter.

This coat is equally at home paired with jeans
for a walk to the local cafe,
or paired up with more glamorous attire
for an evening date in the big city
with your favorite charmer.

Where the story will take us

McGee and I met way back when. She was trying on clothes, I was working the fitting room of the store she was in. We struck up the easy conversation of two girls about to embark on a lifelong friendship, on territory befitting who we were and where we would find ourselves all these long years later.

Time has passed, children born, trials thrown our way. We were a story, book-marked while figuring out our own paths. A couple of years ago we pulled out that book mark.

After briefly reacquainting ourselves, we've found that we'd never lost all that had been the foundation of our friendship from the beginning: synergy that allows us to get excited about the same ideas, finish each others thoughts, work effortlessly side by side, and laugh with abandon. And then of course, vintage clothing.

As McGee and I embark on this new adventure, we are sure that our passion for what we do will show through. We invite you along on the trip with us as we find and reinvent vintage, outdated and cast-off items making them fresh and fun and accessible.
