A beautiful and elegant vintage '80s designer jacket by Christian Ruperto in a scarlet & multi-weave fabric with “jeweled” buttons

Alternating threads in this heavy jacket in scarlet, purple, teal, gold, fushia & black with a sparling metallic gold thread - gold tone rimmed buttons with a scarlet jewel in the center add sparkle to the jacket - black satin loops for the buttons - fringe around the neckline, down the front of the jacket & on the pocket flaps - black satin piping around the same area - shoulder pads which can be removed - very heavy fabric has a black silky like backing so it does not need to be lined further

Very expensive looking & i am sure that it was - perfect to go with black slacks, a skirt or with a dress

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
