18-to 33 Pet. Slash ‘Noted in New York
By EPSIE KINARD
NEA Wri 3 NEW YORK, Aug 20— Biggest
—news in fur coats is that they're) 18 to 33 per cent cheaper than
they were last fall, The cut is due| | partially to. a price-drop in raw
skins and partially to the furrier’s willingness to take less profit. “We have to take less in order to sell fur coats,” says one industry spokesman. Another says that by Increasing the volume of sales ~his firm is geared for a 25 per cent volume increase—manufacturers can make up for the loss of « profit, : . Because of price adjustments, our -manyfacturer contends that this fall's fur values match those of 1935, a year of low-cost furs, tax-free prices and stable dollars:
More Skins Used “But 1949 fur coat values offer something which those of 1835 didn’t, according to furriers. That something is much more material, One claims that as much as 40 per cent more skins go into the 1940- coat's taller .collar, fuller sleeves, bigger cuffs, and sometimes gilant-sized patch pockets. This generous use of skins shows up this fall in many full length coats with tall collars, enormous bell-shaped sleeves and . ‘wide flaring cuffs that add more fur to the extravagant display. One coat of choice wild mink, which makes such high-style use of extra skins, sells for $1800 less than It would have sold for last year, according to Dein-Bacher, its designer.
One Cut of $300
A full, boxy, high-collared swagger of white unplucked nutria, which, because it is unsheared, looks as shaggy as white mink and as soft and fluffy as ermine, sells for $300 less than it would have last year. It is designed by Esther Dorothy, There's a less drastic cut in the price of coats of ocelot, which this fall must supply the demand for less-plentiful leopard. A 34-inch swagger of Esther Dorothy's design, with gold buttons, a lining of green wool and an upturned collar facing of the same, is $145 cheaper than it would have been last fall. iy
