Vintage Safari Styled by Russel Taylor Belted Animal Print Coat

60's 70's Animal Print

A sweeping dark collar and generous matching cuffs frame the golden animal print of this striking vintage Safari coat. Styled by Russel Taylor, its longer silhouette balances bold pattern with a beautifully defined waist, cinched by a matching tie belt. The spotted pile surface brings texture and depth, while the broad collar creates a dramatic frame for the face. An expressive outer layer for city afternoons and evenings out.

Why We Love It

The contrast makes this coat: warm golden tones against deep black trim, a softly flared skirt beneath a neatly belted waist. Wear it over a black turtleneck and slim trousers, or let it bring a little wild glamour to an evening dress.

Collector’s Notes

The original label preserves three distinct credits: Safari as the line, Russel Taylor for styling, and La France for the fabric. This is a useful reminder that a vintage garment’s design and textile production could come from separate sources. The patterned lining adds another thoughtful detail to a coat whose appeal extends beyond its dramatic exterior.
