Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and 1970s Bohemian Paisley cocktail jacket in rich green and magenta tones, accentuated with intricate gold piping and ornate gold buttons.

 

This original 1970s piece encapsulates the bold creativity of the decade’s eveningwear. The design features a lavish Paisley pattern in shades of emerald and magenta, detailed with fine gold piping that traces each swirl of the motif. The gold tone is softly muted in photography but shimmers subtly in person. Structured shoulders and lightly puffed sleeves give the jacket its sculpted silhouette, supported by discreet shoulder pads that shape and balance the line. The front fastens with decorative gold buttons set with small diamanté stones, adding to its refined opulence.

 

The palette and construction recall the rich, folkloric influences seen in Yves Saint Laurent’s late-1970s Russian-inspired collections — garments that celebrated texture, colour, and intricate surface detail. This jacket is a striking piece that evokes the same luxurious and artistic sensibility, perfect for collectors or those who appreciate the craftsmanship and spirit of 1970s design.
