Donna Salyers Fabulous-Furs long faux fur vest in deep espresso brown. Size XL. New with tags, never worn.
At 34 inches this is a duster, not a vest that stops at the hip. Chocolate-brown undercoat with silver and ivory guard hair tipping, cut in vertical pelted panels that run the full length front and back. It moves like the real thing and it is unmistakably not.
Collarless with an open front, so the fur frames the neckline softly instead of standing stiff. Closes with hook and hand-wrapped braided cord rings set flush against the satin facing, so nothing interrupts the pile. Functional side pockets. Fully lined in brown satin printed with a tonal repeating FAUX motif, because the brand was never shy about what it was.
STYLINGMob wife over all black with a slick bun and gold hoops. Penny Lane with flared denim, a knit, and boots - this is the Almost Famous silhouette almost exactly. Old money quiet luxury over a cashmere turtleneck and trousers. Apres-ski thrown over a sweater at the lodge. It reads expensive in every one of them.
THE DETAILSThe lining is brown satin printed edge to edge with a tonal repeating FAUX motif - the brand signing its own work, a small joke about the whole premise. Closures are metal hooks paired with hand-wrapped braided cord rings, set flush into the satin facing so nothing hard or shiny interrupts the fur when it\'s closed. Pockets are set into the seams and fully lined, not patched on. The pelted panels are cut and joined vertically rather than printed on a single sheet, which is what gives the fur its movement and depth.
Manufacturer\'s code reads 14570E ESPR/082019 - style 14570E, espresso colorway, produced August 2019. Fabulous-Furs catalogued their vests between 18 and 28 inches. This one is 34 and was discontinued before the brand closed, making this piece even more rare.
Their XL corresponded to a US 14, not the 16-18 that XL usually implies.

ABOUT THE BRANDDonna Salyers founded Fabulous-Furs in Covington, Kentucky in 1989 and spent three decades proving luxury faux fur could stand next to the real thing. The label sold through Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and QVC. Every piece carried the Vegan Approved certification from vegandesign.org.
The company has since closed. Nothing further is being produced. New-with-tags pieces from this label are a finite supply and shrinking.
Ships fast and secure. No odor - smoke-free, pet-free, climate-controlled storage.
