Vintage 1960s swing coat by Erna Beverly Hills featuring a striking black woven plastic raffia outer shell with a subtle sheen and sculptural drape. The silhouette flares beautifully from the shoulders into a classic A-line swing shape, finished with oversized lapels, fabric-covered buttons, and cuff tabs at the sleeves. A fantastic mid-century statement piece with strong mod presence and evening appeal.


Condition: The outer material is a woven plastic raffia with dimensional texture throughout. Please note that some of the woven strands have come undone and protrude in areas across the coat, which is consistent with the nature and age of this material. There are visible areas where strands lift or fray slightly, but the structure of the coat remains intact. Buttons are present and secure. There is no side seam content tag. The interior black lining is in great condition overall and retains the original interior strap carriers. Lining shows light wear consistent with age but no major damage observed.


Bust measures approximately 18 1/2 inches laid flat (approximately 37 inches doubled). Please refer to measurements shown in photos for full sizing details and compare to a garment that fits you well. Based on measurements, this appears best suited for a modern Small to Medium depending on desired fit.

A rare and dramatic example of 1960s novelty outerwear that pairs beautifully with minimalist styling or full vintage looks.
