1930s Rainbow Floral and Gold Lame Jacket with Cream Silk Lining

About the Item

This 1920s to early 1930s long jacket is crafted from the most beautiful lame fabric with deeply considered attention to detail in its construction. It is crafted from a lightweight silk lame patterned with painterly rainbow flowers - we love the deeper toned art deco hues and vibrant blue, pink and tangerine details. The fabric is woven all-over with metallic gold lamé thread which forms hazy, sheer florals and vines. Tailored to a loose fit, almost like a duster coat, it has a panelled construction throughout. The notched collar is wide and relaxed, as are the sleeves. It fastens with a wrap-over front secured with a single button. The button is as decadent as the fabric; it is black and carved with geometric patterns and detailed with gold metallic paint. The jacket is lined with matte butter-yellow shot silk. The jacket is in outstanding vintage condition with no issues and the lame is just fabulous; almost imperceptible tarnishing noted and no thinning. The yellow silk lining is a considered and thoughtful replacement and hence no labels remain in the jacket. This would have been one of the finest garments of its type in the day and guaranteed to turn heads on arrival. We believe it would best fit a size UK 10 (US 6) upwards, depending on the desired fit.

1970s Biba Copper Sequinned Jacket
By Barbara Hulanicki Biba
Located in London, GB
Early and desirable 1970s Biba sequin jacket in superb vintage condition. The jacket is very slim cut with Art Deco influenced tailoring. There are no fastenings or lapels so this is a type of swing jacket which clings and hugs the body. With all-over copper sequinned embellishment, there is a small padded insert to the puff sleeved shoulder with tapered sleeves toward the cuff. Lined in a corresponding copper polyester jersey. This piece really belongs in a serious collection or museum and is just as wearable today as it was over 50 years ago. This dark gold fabric label was the second Biba label and only in use from 1970 to 1972. It has been in our collection for many years as we have not wish to part with it! All original vintage Biba...
