Electric Blue Fox Trimmed Fur
Edwards-Lowell of Beverly Hills was founded by Merrill Lowell in 1940 and
quickly earned a reputation for the rare and beautiful in original fur fashions.
Inspired by art and music, Mr. Lowell developed design and manufacturing
techniques in fur that set the standard for the industry. Joined by his
wife, Grace, in 1961 they developed a client base that included some of the
greatest Hollywood legends of all time. Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Mae
West, Ella Fitzgerald, Lana Turner, Sammy Davis are just some of the icons that
have worn Lowell’s original fur fashion designs.
This 1970's wild blue creation takes me back to Carnaby Street in London. I can envision Twiggy or Jean Shrimpton wearing this coat. The fur resembles crushed velvet and is accented with a voluminous blue fox fur collar that measures 8 inches at the widest point! The pictures speak for themselves. There is a very, very slight fur loss at the cuff, otherwise the fur is in great vintage condition. Be the only one in your state to own a coat like this. The measurements in inches are: Shoulder to Shoulder 17, Bust 36, Waist 32 (single front closure can be moved), Length 52.

Murphy's of Lewiston Fur
Murphy’s was a well-known name in Lewiston,
Maine for high quality fur coats and other products. The business was located
on Ash Street for many years, and there also was a Lisbon Street retail store
“at the sign of the hat.” Murphy’s was the place to go for purchases, repairs
and seasonal storage of furs. Nearly a full page of the Lewiston Journal on
Aug. 2, 1916, featured a promotional article and a summer sale ad. Murphy’s was
much more than a store. It employed a highly skilled staff. “Raw fur” was
purchased from trappers and the workers turned the skins into luxurious “coats,
scarves and wraps.
