1960s Red Boucle Wool Tweed and Lion Button Jacket

About the Item

No it isn't but it sure as hell looks like it :-) This structured, boucle wool tweed jacket is by Iolion Creations. Made in France and an extremely well made example of haute couture fashion circa 1961. It has a gold-tone chain detail lining the bottom hem and secures with a chain link button under the collar. There are four pockets, each side featuring a faux top pocket and shallow flap pocket below. Polished brass buttons feature a lion’s head - a Parisian haute couture signature. The lightly tailored, boxy cut - designed to allow wearers to move more freely - is reminiscent of Gabrielle Chanel's haute couture designs throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. Fully-lined in red rayon, the stiff tonal trim along the central placket and collar features seven rows of pin-tuck stitching. This elegant jacket is in fresh, well-preserved vintage condition with no rubbing on the buttons or chains. There is no give to the fabric and it will best fit a size UK 10 or below. Please note, the label has been annotated by hand to read ‘Jolion Creations’. MEASUREMENTS: BUST - 39.5 in. (100.33 cm) WAIST - 37 in. (93.98 cm) HIP - 40 in.

  • 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...
