About the Item
A beautifully rare reversible vintage opera coat, expertly crafted from richly textured floral brocade, most likely dating to the early 1960s. This elegant statement piece features two distinct looks in one: a dramatic black floral brocade on one side and a luminous cream jacquard floral pattern on the reverse—each finished with its own coordinating woven fabric button closure at the neckline.
The silhouette is timeless and refined, designed to drape gracefully over evening gowns and cocktail dresses, making it the ultimate vintage outerwear for opera nights, galas, weddings, and formal soirées. The mid-century cut offers a softly structured shoulder, fluid A-line shape, and bracelet-length sleeves, allowing the luxurious brocade to flow beautifully with movement.
A rare example of early 1960s couture-style craftsmanship, this reversible opera coat delivers both versatility and dramatic elegance—two looks in one heirloom piece.

Preowned vintage condition with signs of age and wear consistent with a garment of this era.
