On the reverse, indulge in the sumptuousness of plush black velvet, offering a stark contrast in texture and mood. The velvet side exudes elegance and sophistication, embodying the allure and glamour of the period's evening wear. The weighted hem and generously sized collar enhance its presence, adding structure and gravitas to the coat's silhouette.
The cuffs, wide and structured, feature delicate ribbon detailing, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. Each element of this coat, from its reversible design to its contrasting materials and ornate accents, speaks to the creativity and boldness of 1920s fashion. Whether worn to a lavish party or an evening soiree, this coat encapsulates the essence of an era defined by its innovation, extravagance, and evolving societal norms.

Excellent – The piece shows typical, although minor, signs of wear. The lamé side is in excellent condition with just a few minor fuzzy threads and some slight variation to shininess of the metallic (actual metal) threads! The velvet side has one very tiny hole near hem and a few minor spots with wear to velvet as shown in photos. None of these stand out and is in overall amazing condition for it's age. These are RARE and this one is priced kindly!
