Rare 1970s Red Snakeskin & Fox Gucci Trench Coat designer-bill-gibb gathered and puckered by hand

gathered and puckered by hand in order to create a beautiful contrast to the skirt

It is edged all the way around with a 18 inch hand knotted silk fringe border

This used much more fabric then a conventional dress so even though it has no label that is a great clue that it is a potential designer piece

An incredible set

The entire shape has been created through the careful placement & cut of the vertical seams that come out above and below the waist- all done to create that wonderful hourglass shape

Rare 1970s Red Snakeskin & Fox Gucci Trench Coat designer-bill-gibb gathered and puckered by handThis just might be the holy grail of all Gucci coats! It is extraordinary and amazingly beautiful. The coat is made of a hand dyed snakeskin in a beautiful, rich red hue. It has its original, detachable fox fur collar that is also dyed to match exactly and is wonderfully thick and supple. I love that you can remove it it makes the trench that much more versatile and extends the season you can wear it. It buttons to close and you cinch the waist in
