Ms. Tee’s Furs

After a long and busy day working HOToberfest with the Unilocal Empress/​my boss Kathleen M., we took a detour route on Memorial Dr. to avoid traffic heading down Moreland. As we slowed down for a red light, we saw the most intriguing arrangement of furs and leather jackets that you could find, hung off a truck at a parking lot on the corner of Memorial and Boulevard.
What is an Empress and her Unilocal concubine/​intern suppose to do? Pull over right quick and shop, of course.
Ms. Tee has a pretty impressive collection of men and women’s fur coats and leather jackets. Most are vintage, so if you find something in your size, it’s a meant to be. She only takes cash, but she will bargain. I walked away with a London Fog leather bomber and detachable fur collar for a steal of $ 30! Steal, I tell you!
She also has a great collection of fur stoles, collars, and other accessories to have you feeling extra luxe and lavish, irregardless of how crazy ATL weather can get. Best believe, you’ll be seeing the jacket & fur collar debut at the next Unilocal event!

An oasis of fashionable dead animals amongst the grit of this side of Grant Park, Ms. Tee’s was the find of all finds. Ken T and I saw the array of leather and fur displayed against a truck in an abandoned parking lot, looked at each other, and knew we had to stop.
Ms. Tee’s got a good eye, and she’s peddling everything from the real vintage stuff to newer faux furs to church hats to «Louis Vuitton» luggage sets. Sure, it’s a mish mash, but I loved every second of browsing with the rumble of trucks on Moreland as ambiance.
I’ve got a serious thing for vintage fur at the moment, and Ms. Tee’s been in the biz for years. Some of her pieces needed a little rehab, some were over the top, but some were perfection at a bargain price. I felt a little silly parading around the parking lot in a stunning fox fur stole, but it’s looking mighty at home in my closet, and at $ 50 (in perfect condition, no tears in the lining!) I’m glad we didn’t pass this place by.
She’s aiming to be there most Saturdays until 5. Support your local businesses, even if they don’t have business licenses. Or storefronts. Or registers. Or… walls.
