Vintage Black Cherry Velvet Beaded Evening Jacket | Gold Embroidery

Rich in texture and intricate detail, this vintage evening jacket is crafted in sumptuous black-cherry velvet with deep aubergine undertones. Its softly structured, boxy silhouette is adorned with elaborate gold-tone beadwork, delicate lavender accents, and embroidered fan-shaped motifs punctuated by starbursts.

A rounded neckline, discreet hook-and-eye closure, and embellished cuffs create a beautifully finished piece. The unembellished velvet back provides a quiet contrast to the ornate front.

Equally compelling worn over a silk slip dress or paired with tailored trousers, this is the kind of statement jacket that makes an outfit.

Curator’s Note

The beauty is in the contrast: dark, lustrous velvet against intricate metallic beadwork, with just a whisper of lavender. An expressive piece that needs very little accompaniment. We love it layered over a plum silk slip dress for a modern interpretation of vintage evening glamour.
