-SPECIAL- “VALENTINO” 1988–1992 SAGA Mink Shawl Collar Coat

By rethinking production techniques and incorporating technology and innovation to push the boundaries of creativity,

We would like to introduce you to a special piece from VALENTINO, which creates items and collections that are loved for generations.

(This piece is from the Valentino Furs line, produced in the late 1980s to early 1990s.

It was handmade in the Rome flagship store atelier at the time.

The tag design, font, SAGA MINK label, and the iconic V logo button design all represent a unique composition of that era.

This is a precious archive piece that symbolizes the "tranquil Roman elegance" period, overseen by Garavani himself.

The glossy mink catches the light softly, and the flowing suppleness along the hand gives it a quiet elegance.

This masterpiece embodies a refined sense of balance that brings Roman elegance into everyday life.

(At this time, Valentino used mink to create a uniform surface.

We have introduced a process called "Slick Finish" that fine-tunes the flow of the hair.

As a result, the light reflection is deeper and softer.

The shawl collar creates a natural rise at the neck, creating shadows around the face.

The front is fastened with a single gold button, subtly highlighting the V logo.

The design makes the upper body look slimmer by focusing the center of gravity at a higher position.

(This button is a custom-made part made of metal and enamel that appeared between 1988 and 1992.

This is a rare specification that uses the same mold as the Haute Couture division.)

The body falls straight down without spreading out too much, and the hem has just the right amount of volume, so the gloss of the surface flows as you walk.

The cuffs are folded over to create thickness, creating a soft, three-dimensional look when you move your hands.

The back has a smooth cut, and the mink fur is aligned vertically, giving the garment a dignified look even from behind.

(Especially during this period, the "full panel construction" that minimizes fur seams became mainstream,

As a result, the beauty of the streamlined lines seen from behind has been dramatically improved.

As the SAGA MINK label indicates, the material has excellent fine fur alignment and uniform luster.

It has an exceptional combination of thickness and resilience the moment you touch it, and it also has excellent heat retention despite its light weight.

The pile is not longer than necessary, and the surface reflects light like a mirror, so the look is not excessive.

The charm of this item is that it quietly speaks of its high quality. The inside is smooth and the sleeves are easy to move in.

It reduces stress even in situations where you stand up and sit down frequently, so you can stay comfortable even when out for long periods of time.

(The "Superb Quality" SAGA tag was only used between 1986 and 1993.

It boasts a lightness and density that is currently difficult to replicate.

The combination of the brand's "Valentino Furs" tag and V logo button

While symbolizing the precision of the Maison's couture heritage, the watch minimizes the amount of information visible on the surface.

It can be said that the design philosophy is consistent with bringing out the best in the materials themselves.

(At that time, Garavani's theme was "Luxury in Quietness,"

Even with fur, he kept his style to a minimum, instead focusing on texture and structure rather than overtly showing off luxury.

As for added value, firstly, we carefully select homogeneous raw hides that meet SAGA standards,

There is little color variation between panels, and the gloss does not fade over time, which directly translates into value in long-term ownership.

Secondly, the minimalist design, fastened with a single button, does not interfere with the continuity of the fur,

The beauty of the surface stands out both in photos and in person, and the balance between lightness and heat retention is excellent.

It has a wide range of uses, from formal winter wear to everyday urban wear.

This is the type of fur that speaks for its quality without relying on a logo, making it a piece you can trust for a long time as the core of your wardrobe.

MOOD is for those who want to convey a sense of quality through their presence, or those who want to reduce decoration and make a statement through materials and lines.

We believe that this coat is suitable for those who want a coat that can be worn not only on special occasions but also in everyday life, such as when traveling or dining out.

The soft luster does not stand out too much under lighting, so it maintains its elegance regardless of the occasion.

(The reason why it blends seamlessly into modern wardrobes despite being timeless is

This is because the idea of ​​"attracting with architectural beauty," which is unique to this period, is alive and well.)

As for styling, pair it with simple items such as denim or slacks.

Not only can you wear it in real clothes, but you can also wear it with a belt around your waist.

It further emphasizes the inherent beautiful silhouette and the glossiness of the material,

We also recommend pairing it with a full-length skirt for a feminine look.

Please take this opportunity.
