About the Garment:

“I might have picked this up in Hong Kong,” Dee says of this 1960s coat from the label Maxine. “I love me an animal print—tiger, leopard, zebra, you name it. This feels like it could be modern-day Saint Laurent.” Cut slim through the body with gold-button closures, this faux tiger-print fur coat strikes the perfect balance between statement-making and not too loud.

About the Label:

Maxine was a regional department store label born in an era when local style set its own rules. Based in West Warwick, Rhode Island, the house focused on well-made wardrobe staples rather than runway theatrics. Because it lived in place—not everywhere—pieces with a Maxine label are now uncommon, collector finds with a distinctly American, mid-century sensibility.
