About the Item

Chado Ralph Rucci is an American designer renowned for his unparalleled craftsmanship and architectural precision, blending minimalism with dramatic elegance. Inspired by fine art and the discipline of the Japanese tea ceremony, his designs feature innovative techniques like suspension embroidery and intricate stitching, creating timeless, couture-level pieces. As the first American in over 60 years to present in Paris Haute Couture, Rucci’s work is celebrated for its luxurious materials, meticulous attention to detail, and fusion of artistry and functionality, cementing his legacy as a master of wearable art. This Ralph Rucci silk cape, crafted from lustrous black silk, showcases dramatic volume and a beautifully draped silhouette. Discreetly designed armholes enhance versatility, offering ease of movement while maintaining its sculptural appeal. The back reveals intricate concentric stitching while the gathered hemline creates a soft, flowing effect. This piece exudes timeless sophistication, blending high-fashion artistry with practical wearability, making it a standout choice for formal occasions or as a collector's item. In excellent condition this cape has been cleansed with obsidian and sage to ensure that you welcome a bright new energy into your home and has also been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
