Redfern's furs, as the title names them, were ermine and sable, two of the costliest pelts a fashionable buyer could ask for, and this advertisement puts them front and center as the luxury trim of the season. Redfern was one of the best-known London and Paris tailoring houses of the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and its advertising drew on the same aspirational appeal as its gowns and cloaks. Fur trim signaled both wealth and taste, so the image tells you as much about who the house hoped to reach as about the garments themselves. It is worth noticing how the illustration uses the animals' pale and dark coats to frame the figure.
