Vintage Velvet Black and Red Embroidered Folk Jacket
Vintage Velvet Black and Red Embroidered Folk Jacket
Introducing a velvet style jacket that pays homage to the bohemian revival of the late 1970s, when fashion drew heavily from Eastern European folk art, Victorian details, and artisanal craftsmanship. This piece exemplifies the era’s fascination with rich, exotic textures and hand-embroidered patterns, inspired by 19th-century Eastern European and Ottoman textiles. Floral motifs and intricate borders, often seen in Victorian-inspired fashion and traditional Slavic garments, are meticulously stitched along the front, echoing the spirit of heritage and global influence that permeated the fashion world during this period. The mandarin collar and ornate metal buttons reflect the influence of Middle Eastern and Asian silhouettes that captivated designers like Y S L and Ossie Clark, who popularized such eclectic, culturally-inspired styles. In excellent condition, this jacket encapsulates the era’s devotion to artisanal quality and historical reference, making it a true collector’s piece.
