About the Item

Stunning and original vintage 1960s A-line patchwork Chinese silk coat. This duster coat is very unusual and is entirely made from a repeat pattern of imported Chinese silk fabrics in black, greens, blue and orange. The silk jacquard fabrics each have different oriental designs: bamboo, blossom, clouds and Imperial insignia. Probably bespoke made for the client, the construction and quality is impeccable. The coat came from a very wealthy Hamptons estate with a dazzling array of clothing from American's greatest designers: Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Bob Mackie and Halston. Many haute couture peices from Givenchy and Christian Dior ranging from the 1950s - 1970s were also in this collection. I've no doubt this is designed by somebody important in fashion history but sadly this has no makers labels. It's such a striking piece that would brighten up any outfit and is especially good over black. It is fully lined in orange silk and closes at the front with 3 concealed hook and eye fastenings. With no noticeable flaws, it looks barely worn and in excellent vintage condition. A good fit for small to medium sizes up to UK size 10, US 6. MEASUREMENTS: BUST: 35 in.

2006 Roberto Cavalli Runway Green Silk Embossed Velvet Coat Dress
By Roberto Cavalli
Located in London, GB
This incredible emerald green coat-dress was designed by Roberto Cavalli and appeared as the opening look on the Fall 2006 runway paired with a fur stole. Roberto Cavalli’s fabrics are instantly recognisable for their luxurious textures and bold, often animal-inspired prints, which fuse opulence with a sense of hedonistic glamour. True to form, the fabric is beautiful; crafted from a decadent sheer silk chiffon in a rich green hue, it is adorned all-over with large flowers embossed in a silk-mix velvet and detailed with glistening gold paint. The louche, draped silhouette is theatrical, recalling the opulence of 1920s kimonos...
