<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 204821, member: 51"]This is a 1990's coat, cashmere with silk lining from a East Coast couturier. Coat would have been made to order. There is almost nothing online about the maker as they were only open for a few years, but a newspaper article did a story on them, and the coats when new in 1995 sold in for $2,500-$5,000. (I won't realize anything close to that in a resale, only mentioning to point out that all details were very high end and individualized for this clothing.) What caught my eye in the newspaper story was that they talked about a different cashmere coat (same couturier) that had: " one-of-a-kind Victorian amethyst buttons".</p><p><br /></p><p>Any chance these buttons are older? About the size of a half dollar. Either brass or some kind of brass colored coating. They are metal. Thanks for taking a look.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]59085[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59086[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59087[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59088[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
