Vintage original Art Deco ‘Ermaleen’ faux fur and silk satin fitted cape pantalooons Smocked bodice is beautifully doneThe second 'Ermaleen' branded cape Ive ever had, this early artificial fur is something I look out for! I have had the occasional 1950s hat and tippet which I think may have been made of the same material. Excellent quality, this was originally marketed as a high quality alternative to ermine fur, and has stood the rest of time. I believe it was sold under the umbrella brand of Furleen, which produced Ermaleen, Minkaleen, Astraka.. you get the idea!
