A Very Old Julip!

[juliporiginals]

I was extremely lucky to recently be able to add this very old and rare Julip to my collection, this little dog is one of the original chamois leather Julips created by Lavender Dower somewhere between 1945 and the 1950's before the production changed to latex. She's a little fragile and her ear and tail are coming slightly unstitched but she's generally in remarkably good condition for her age, a huge 'thank you' to Samantha for parting with her, I feel extremely privileged to own such a wonderful piece of Julip history.

Aww what a sweetie, is it leather?

It's more like a suede than leather, although it's difficult to tell as it's very worn.
