Ultra-Rare Vintage 1980s/1990s Harry and Harry Genuine Suede "Africa" Matching Jacket & Skirt Ensemble
Overview
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, museum-quality vintage two-piece matching suede set from the iconic late 1980s / early 1990s Afrocentric fashion movement. While standalone jackets from this era occasionally surface, finding a complete, pristine matching jacket and skirt set from a sought-after boutique label like Harry and Harry is an absolute unicorn find for collectors and vintage enthusiasts.
The Provenance & Design
* The Brand: Harry and Harry was a premier boutique fashion label during the golden era of 90s hip-hop and urban streetwear, famous for high-end, heavily stylized, and artistic statement outerwear.
* The Craftsmanship: Proudly featuring the original tag reading "Harry and Harry Genuine Leather Made in India." During this era, India was the global epicenter for producing premium, mid-to-heavyweight genuine suede with the perfect, drape-heavy slouch.
* The Aesthetic: The ensemble features an all-over, multi-colored African topography and mudcloth-inspired print painted over premium suede patchwork panels. The word "AFRICA" is integrated directly into the graphic motif.
The Silhouette
* The Jacket: A textbook 90s "slouch jacket" featuring dropped shoulders, deep armpits, and a generous swing shape that creates a dramatic, relaxed drape.
* The Skirt: A structured, high-waisted matching suede skirt that perfectly balances the oversized nature of the jacket for a head-to-toe vintage streetwear silhouette.
Condition
* Excellent Vintage Condition: While technically pre-owned, this set is in flawless shape. The suede remains incredibly soft, supple, and the colors are vibrant with no noticeable fading, stains, or wear. It presents as if it was safely tucked away in a time capsule and never worn.
Shipping Terms
* Premium Heavyweight Suede / Heavy Package: Please note that this genuine suede ensemble is quite substantial and heavy. Because of the weight and bulk of both pieces, the cost of premium packaging, transit tracking, and full shipping insurance is fully built into the final listing price.
* Free Domestic Shipping: Your order will ship entirely for free via a tracked, insured mail carrier. Because of the $575 valuation, a signature confirmation may be required upon delivery to ensure it arrives safely into your hands.
