A fur ascot with giraffe print. The ascot is composed of two panels of printed calfskin sewn together at the center seam. It’s narrow at the center and wide at both ends. The underside is made from dark brown synthetic lining that is sewn to the calfskin by hand. An allover giraffe print covers the calfskin fur. Sewn to the middle of the brown synthetic lining is a cream colored fabric label that reads [MADE IN CANADA] in dark brown text.
