Vintage Early 1980s Valerie Black Velvet Blazer / Jacket. A sleek ’80s statement piece with real texture and presence. This women’s black cotton velvet blazer by Valerie features a two-button front, spread collar, and three front pockets, giving it that softly tailored, slightly dramatic silhouette the era did so well.
Made from plush cotton velour with a smooth rayon lining. Cotton velvet is so hard to come by! Labeled a women’s size 14 and wears like a modern medium. The fabric has a rich, matte sheen that dresses up easily but still works layered and casual.
