    Description

    This has long been one of my absolute favorite jackets and am having a hard time giving up (hence the price as don't really care if sells). Although I haven't worn recently, I have it hanging in my casbah room so I can at least look at it. It is simply stunning!  Pix do a pretty good job of showcasing its beauty. It is an older piece and as you can see some of the embroidery threading has come off but I always felt this added to the authenticity of the piece. You can also tell that the mirrors are old. Really what can I say; this piece speaks for itself. Gorgeous wearable art or display piece. Other than missing embroidery in places it is in good vintage condition. Will fit many sizes and definitely unisex. I am thinking it may have been an Indian groom's wedding jacket as if you have ever seen an Indian wedding you know they are over the top! Wallflowers need not look as you will definitely stand out in this OOAK piece.
