From Conbipel's website:
"Conbipel was founded in 1958 as an artisan company for the production of leather clothing. The opening of the Cocconato d'Asti factory led the company to collaborate with the major distribution groups, leading to the development of a network of stores throughout Italy in 1978. Having become a point of reference for leather and fur, the brand subsequently expanded its offering with the launch of the Men's, Women's and Children's textile collection. The quality of a historic brand, representative of Italian fashion, was acquired in 2022 by the Grow Capital investment fund, creating a new entrepreneurial reality, BTX - Italian Retail and Brands, with the aim of preserving the solid values ​​of tradition and looking to the future with projects in step with the times".

 

I'd date this late 1980s or more likely early 1990s, and while the exterior looks suede I assume it is the reverse of the rabbit hide, as the coat is surprising light in weight for a fur coat. The deign has leather trim piping, and arranged in decorative pattern , with subtle jewel tears hanging. 

 

The coat does show signs of fading though with the suede looks variegated naturally anyway. The natural hide variation I suggest part of the look, as was coming in to fashion 1990s anywa with Ugg boots and a more artisanal folky look. It certainly doesn't detract from the coats lovely style, which has some swing to it, as you'd expect from an Italian piece. The shoulders are structured nicely too so it is a coat that looks much better worn, than on the hanger.
