Description

Product Description
A gorgeous vintage 1980s Purple Metallic Jacquard Italian Open-Front 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 photos. Marked size is not clearly visible. Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9″ and typically wears a modern high-fashion size 2/4, with a 32B bust, 25″ waist, and 37″ hips. On Dominique, this has a structured but easy fit with room to layer a lightweight knit underneath. Best for a modern S/M depending on desired fit. Please compare measurements before purchasing.

Size Chart

Vintage sizing varies greatly by brand, country, garment type, and time period. The marked vintage size may not reflect today’s sizing standards. Whenever possible, we provide both the original marked size and our estimated modern US size equivalent. This estimate is based on the item’s era, construction, fabric behavior, relevant size references, and how the piece fits on the model shown. We do not clip, pin, or artificially alter garments when photographing them. The model’s size, measurements, and visible fit are the best guides for understanding modern fit. Please review all photos, fit notes, and product details before purchasing.

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

My friend and I were exploring the fashion district and came across this place and it is a total gem! Some very interesting timeless pieces that were super fun too look through and such a friendly vibe. Shoutout to the lady working there, I believe it was Malinda, she was so friendly and I had such a good time talking with her! She is so passionate and stylish and her friendliness and love for fashion is what makes me love LA! Certainly must visit if your in the area!!!!

One of the coolest places I’ve stumbled upon thus far. Unlike some other vintage stores where it feels like it’s full of marked-up Goodwill items, Melynda takes the time to research and select all the items she puts out in the store. When I stopped by, she even let me look through some items she hadn’t put out yet, and I found a really cool vintage Western button-up. The men’s section is not neglected either, full of some really cool shirts, pants, jackets, shoes, and other accessories. If you’re looking to find a unique piece in a friendly environment, this is the place for you.

I love Quirk! It is the cutest, most unique place and the owner is just as! I have found so many good things here that I know I can keep forever and pass on to my kids :) There is also the cutest dog that lives there

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I had such a wonderful time at Quirk. As someone who has never been to a fashion district and who has never been styled before, I hadn't extraordinary time getting to know my own sense of fashion. Melynda was so dope and helpful. She helped style me and gave me a new fresh look. I ended up buying something off of the $20 rack so she has affordable options as well. Definitely coming back again for my next shopping trip!

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

A hidden GEM! There’s so many vintage treasures left and right; from accessories to jackets to skirts. I was in there for a handful of hours trying on some amazing vintage, designer pieces and it felt like a dream! The owner, Melynda, was so sweet and encouraging when I was choosing my final purchases. I’m so happy I ran into this place and found some great pieces to add to my wardrobe!

I have volunteered at the Fire Relief Free Boutique founded by Melynda for over a month and the whole experience has been amazing, I have seen people affected by the fires leaving the free boutique with a smile on their face after the free shopping experience, that’s something that fulfills the soul. Melynda is a great leader with a big heart, I’m proud to be part of this beautiful project.

Found an absolute gem of a Hawaiian shirt for my rehearsal dinner. Just head upstairs, go back in time, and enjoy yourself. Love this place and Melynda!!
