It is incredibly cold and wintery here so I have been staying cozy working in my little studio room. Taking a break, I was going through some of my vintage pic files and was struck by the amount of fur that was worn years ago and how muffs were so popular.
With all the fur, this lovely lady would not be the height of fashion now, but I'm sure in 1911 she reigned supreme
In her long astrakhan coat, muff and hat and what looks like seal trim, this lady was enveloped (ha! no pun intended)
Can't Forget to Bundle Up the Kiddies
The muff this little lass is carrying is just about as big as she is!
More Fur - actually quite abit given the throw. The addition of the puppy seems a bit of an ironic touch in 2010. What an adorable little girl though!
Just some fur trim on the outfit of this rather smug little girl. I get the feeling she may have grown up to be a rather domineering society matron.
Even this very young child has some fur - the pompom tassels on her hat are fur.
I posted these pics for your enjoyment, not to make any political statement. Years ago, wearing fur was not contentious as it is now. Trapping was a way of life and in many cases fur was sold as a byproduct of the food that was placed on the table. And, all arguments aside, it was warm!
