Vintage 1980s Purple Metallic Jacquard Italian Open-Front Blazer, Small/Medium

Description

Product Description
A gorgeous vintage Italian jacquard blazer with a bold purple ground, black patterning, and metallic gold woven motifs throughout. The pattern has a graphic medallion feel, almost like abstract jewelry or celestial talismans, with enough shimmer to feel special without reading overly formal.

The cut is sharp and easy: open front, structured shoulders, long sleeves, curved front hem, and a clean collarless neckline that layers beautifully over a knit, silk shell, tank, or simple dress. The jacket is fully lined in cobalt blue with a purple inner facing, giving it a rich interior finish.

This is the kind of 1980s/early 1990s statement jacket that does a lot of styling work on its own. Wear it with a cream knit and tailored black trousers, over a slip dress, with denim and a white tank, or as an evening layer with slim cigarette pants and heels.

Made in Italy. Fabric tag reads 77% viscose, 5% lamé, and 1% elastomero; remaining fiber content is unclear from the provided photos. Marked size is not clearly visible.
