1970s Vintage Tiger Print Faux Fur Statement Coat with Black Plush Trim
There are animal prints—and then there are pieces that completely own the room.
This dramatic vintage coat pairs a rich golden tiger stripe with plush black trim for a look that is unapologetically glamorous. The bold tiger-patterned body has wonderful dimension and sheen, while the oversized black collar creates a beautifully theatrical frame around the face.
Black plush cuffs and a wide contrasting hem ground the print and give the coat an especially luxurious finish. The double-breasted front and gently shaped silhouette keep all that drama surprisingly polished.
It is exactly the kind of vintage outerwear we love at Mon Luxe Vintage: bold enough to be remembered, yet sophisticated enough to wear.
Why We Love It
The proportions make this coat. That enormous black collar, wide cuffs and sweeping black hem turn what could simply have been an animal-print coat into something much more editorial.
Wear it over an all-black look and let the tiger print take center stage. It has that wonderfully fearless late-20th-century glamour when getting dressed meant making an entrance.

Collector’s Notes
Animal print has moved in and out of fashion for decades, but the most memorable vintage examples aren't interested in behaving like neutrals. They exaggerate the fantasy—and this coat certainly does.
