This vintage Gentillesse cropped jacket is crafted from a richly woven silk brocade in a striking black base with gold, red, orange, and green floral baroque motifs.
The silhouette is structured and sculptural, featuring a high stand collar, and a sharply cropped cut that enhances the waistline. The intricate textile gives the piece a couture-like presence, with a dimensional, tapestry-style weave that catches the light beautifully.
Fully lined in silk, the jacket closes at the front with a zipper, maintaining a clean, minimal line against the ornate fabric.
A distinctive vintage piece that pairs equally well with tailored trousers, denim, or layered over dresses.
