- Description
- A pink jacket with a woven, East Asian-Inspired brocade pattern. The pattern features houses, temples, Xiangyun clouds, and flowers woven with silver, gold, and pink metallic thread. The jacket features a band collar made from one panel of the pink patterned synthetic brocade, which closes with one metal hook and eye. The front of the jacket is made from two panels of fabric that have no front closures. There are two welt pockets – one on each side of jacket front that are partially self-faced and partially lined with synthetic lining. Each flared sleeve is made from one panel of fabric and features a 4.25” cuff at the bottom. The back of the jacket is made from one panel of fabric. A small white fabric tag sewn to the interior collar reads [L] in red text. The inside of the jacket is lined with ivory synthetic lining material with a repeat flower pattern (likely peony). Its construction mirrors the outside of the jacket - two panels for the front, one panel for the back, and one panel for the sleeves. The lining hem is tucked under, and machine stitched to the inside of the jacket. There is no brand label.
