MARILYN MONROE WRAP
A black silk and ostrich feather wrap with two velvet arm straps and an interior label reading "Made to Order/Rex, Inc./Beverly Hills/California;" Rex being a brand MM frequently purchased. Interestingly, this piece may have also been used as a prop in MM's last and unfinished 1962 film, "Something's Got To Give;" a similar wrap can be seen in the handbag she carries as she watches her children in the swimming pool. Included are three images showing MM with this wrap.
