Just because  you live in a climate where winter requires you bundle up, doesn’t mean you have to forego style to stay warm.  A jolt of neon orange is a sure eye opener, especially when it is trimmed in a spotted fur (cheetah? leopard? geoffrey fur? Jaguar?).

A true luxury fiber is your own little secret.  The concept of adding a fur fiber to a woven textile was popular during the mid 20th century.  Perhaps these luxe fabrics are too costly for today’s market.  Here are several options to choose from, each is in exceptional vintage condition and available at OgoVintage ETSY shop.  The photos are linked to the etsy listings for your convenience.
