Cream looped braid and ornate gold-tone buttons bring the details of this 1960s Celine Soria Couture skirt suit into focus. Red, ivory and black wool herringbone tweed gives the matching jacket and skirt their texture, while the lining adds a smooth layer beneath. The shaped jacket, three-quarter sleeves and narrow skirt make a strong pair, with enough character to wear separately, too. Modern size US 2/4. Excellent vintage condition, near mint. Try it with a white blouse and pumps, or a fine turtleneck and ankle boots for a different take on the same silhouette.

Red, ivory and black wool tweed give this 1960s Celine Soria Couture skirt suit its lively surface. Cream looped braid follows the jacket’s collar, front edges, pocket flaps and cuffs, setting off the herringbone weave rather than disappearing into it. Ornate gold-tone buttons add a small flash against the wool.
The jacket is shaped through the waist, with three-quarter sleeves and a skirt that keeps a narrow line below it. Worn together, the two pieces make the most of that contrast between a textured, decorated jacket and a simple skirt shape. The suit is lined, giving the wool tweed a smooth layer underneath.
There is plenty to enjoy at close range: the braid tracing each edge, the buttons against the red and ivory, and the way the jacket’s pocket flaps repeat its rounded collar. Keep the layers beneath it quiet and those details do the work. The matching pieces can also be worn separately, with the jacket over dark denim or the skirt beneath a fine-gauge knit.
Modern size: US 2/4.
About the model: Ghazal is 5 ft 7 in and typically wears approximately a modern high-fashion USA dress size 4/6 or a medium. Her bust is 34C, waist 27 in and hips 40 in.
Excellent vintage condition, near mint. This piece is gently used and sold as-is due to its age and rarity.
For the office, pair the suit with a crisp white blouse and classic pumps. A turtleneck and ankle boots give it another rhythm, keeping the neckline simple and the skirt’s slim shape clear. Our photographs also show how a white blouse and substantial black shoes can change the mood without competing with the tweed.
Available separately. Each piece opens in a new tab.
