Muffs

The fabulous Chanel muff below reminded me of the fact that you rarely see a woman wearing one and that I have two gorgeous vintage muffs in my closet. I have worn muffs since I was a little girl and my mother and I had matching ones. The black one above was hers. The fabulous huge bow muff is a vintage find from eBay. It is such a glamorous and classic look. I even found a 1907 New York Times article that Parisienne women at that time were using large muffs to stow their tiny dogs. To carry your toy dog in warmth and style, or to add a sophisticated and elegant look to your fall/winter wardrobe, be on a lookout for your own muff. You will easily find wonderful ones on eBay and in vintage stores and there are some great faux versions out there too.
