**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.
