Vintage The Planet Emerald Green Velvet Frog-Closure Jacket

Rich emerald velvet meets intricate, Asian-inspired detailing in this vintage jacket by The Planet — Clothing & Gifts From Around the World.

 Cut in a relaxed, gently flared silhouette, the jacket features a softly structured Mandarin-style collar, five decorative frog closures in green-and-cream floral fabric, and long gathered sleeves finished with matching fabric-covered buttons at the cuffs.

 The deep jewel-toned velvet catches the light beautifully, revealing subtle variations of forest green and emerald. A striking piece that balances traditional design influences with an effortlessly modern sensibility.
