Take a look at this exquisite fur coat that Rachel received as a gift from her grandmother, Betty. It must be from the 1940's, yet the style and lines give it a timeless appeal. The leather trim is so cool!
A bit of history -- Shari's grandmother, Betty, is in her 90's. The coat was passed on to Rachel from Shari's dad (I think.) Betty received the coat as a gift from her beau, Roy, who just happened to be a furrier in Milwaukee. Her initials are embroidered on the lining inside the coat. She later married Roy and the initials are those of her married name from her first husband who had passed away. That would be Shari's paternal grandfather.
The coat fits Rachel perfectly and I think she rivals Katherine Hepburn or Joan Crawford wearing it...
My only word of advice to Rachel is that she be careful not to let it out of her sight.
