A FULL-LENGTH MINK COAT
CHRISTIAN DIOR, CIRCA 1979
patchworked with dyed mink with emblems of all the countries of the European Union, including the Eifel Tower, Big Ben, The Bridge of Sighs, a windmill and other European emblems

Note du spécialiste

The coat would seem to be a special commission to celebrate European Union. It has to post-date 1973, as it includes a splendid representation of Big Ben in prominent position on the front of the coat.
