Fur As Wearing Apparel, ca. late 1930s
 
Fox pelts became very fashionable among women. During the 1920s, silver fox was prized as an item of high fashion. One of the earliest fox fashions worn was a single-pelt scarf. The scarf fastened to one shoulder by a small spring clip set. It allowed the full length of the pelt to flow down its wearer's back, obscuring none of its beauty. Prices for the single-pelt scarf ranged anywhere from $350.00 to $1000.00.
