A substantial early 80s leather coat by Adrienne Vittadini, crafted in snakeskin-embossed leather with a removable real fur lining for adaptable cold-weather wear. Dating to Vittadini's early expansion into outerwear following the brand's 1979 launch, this piece reflects the era's focus on elevated materials paired with practical, modern silhouettes. The long, columnar shape, plush fur collar and cuffs, and tonal snakeskin finish give the coat a grounded, quietly powerful presence.
