EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning historical photograph showcases a beautiful Petit-Gris Cloak from the year 1922. The Petit-Gris Cloak is a unique and elegant piece of fashion history, made using rectangular pieces of Petit-Gris fur, a type of squirrel fur known for its soft, grayish-brown color. The most notable feature of this cloak is its large, tubular stand collar, which adds a dramatic and sophisticated touch to the garment. The collar is fastened with a silk cord, adorned with tassel ends, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The hem of the cloak is also hemmed with miniver, a type of white fur, adding an extra layer of luxury and warmth. The rectangular pieces of fur used to create the cloak are meticulously sewn together, creating a seamless and fluid design. The tubular shape of the collar not only adds to the overall elegance of the cloak but also allows it to stand alone, creating a stunning display when the cloak is not being worn. The Petit-Gris Cloak is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating high-end fashion during the early 20th century. The use of natural materials such as fur and silk, along with intricate design elements like the stand collar and tassel ends, make this cloak a true work of art. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and beauty of this exquisite piece of fashion history. The Petit-Gris Cloak is a reminder of the elegance and sophistication of bygone eras and the enduring allure of natural materials in fashion design.
