I'm not an expert, but ... if it's legal to own antique ivory, I'd think the same w/b true of leopard?

hmmm...ive been trying to research it my very best online. I thought if it was vintage, then it was made before the law was created back in the 1970's and thus exempt. i'm just not sure about it going from the UK to california and customs...would i just request the seller to write 'vintage jacket' or something along those lines on the declaration? i'm unsure about the customs part...oh dear...i dont know

^ Ah, you didn't mention customs before ... now that could be an issue ...

This information must be online somewhere ... have you Googled it?

yes, i googled a ton, but in regards to vintage things it's very vague. i decided to wihdraw my bid, as i didn't want to get into some sort of trouble i couldn't handle...too bad because it was gorgeous!

im pritty sure vintage fur in the uk is ok as long as it is vintage over a certain age .. and not an endangered specis or an animal that is illegal to hunt in some countries

I always remember on celebrity big brother when pete burns got his coat took off him by police.

I dont know how law works in other countries though tbh .. and dont quote me on anything i might not be right

a lot of celebs have been shown spotting leopard lately i've noticed...Gwen stefani always has something, but it's been popping up too...i think it's back! i just scored a vintage leopard fur sweater collar on ebay...now i need to get a good black sweater...
