1960s Couture Patchwork Chinese Silk Coat
About the Item
Stunning and original vintage 1960s A-line patchwork Chinese silk coat. This duster coat is very unusual and is entirely made from a repeat pattern of imported Chinese silk fabrics in black, greens, blue and orange. The silk jacquard fabrics each have different oriental designs: bamboo, blossom, clouds and Imperial insignia. Probably bespoke made for the client, the construction and quality is impeccable. The coat came from a very wealthy Hamptons estate with a dazzling array of clothing from American's greatest designers: Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, Bob Mackie and Halston. Many haute couture peices from Givenchy and Christian Dior ranging from the 1950s - 1970s were also in this collection and which I have for sale. I've no doubt this is designed by somebody important in fashion history but sadly this has no makers labels. It's such a striking piece that would brighten up any outfit and is especially good over black. It is fully lined in orange silk and closes at the front with 3 concealed hook and eye fastenings. With no noticeable flaws, it looks barely worn and in excellent vintage condition. A good fit for small to medium sizes up to UK size 10, US 6.

- 1960s Jeff Banks Clobber Black Velvet Hooded CoatBy Jeff BanksLocated in London, GBThis late 1960s black velvet hooded Clobber coat has a real autumnal, almost witchy feel. It features a high neck with button and loop fastening running all the way down the front, with each button embossed with a etched floral repeat pattern. The velvet itself is a very fine chenille, which has a lovely luminosity to it despite being charcoal black in colour. Though the main body of the jacket is unlined the hood is lined with soft black silky fabric, making it lovely and comfortable to wear. The coat flares out slightly at the waist, creating a classic Victorian, almost gothic style silhouette. This coat is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws or marks to note. It is shown here on our size 6-8 model and would best fit up to a 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US. The influential designer was a pivotal member of the swinging 60s London fashion scene when he cofounded 'Clobber' in Blackheath Village, London, in 1964. The boutique carried both his own designs and the work of other designers and attracted celebrities such as Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and some of the Beatles. It proved such a success that in 1969, he launched his own fashion label, opening the first standalone Jeff Banks...Category
