'be warm and shine' sparkly cashmere special occasion jacket/shrug
This is a unique combination that you don't come across very often! A sweater-like jacket, with cashmere as base and sequins attached throughout, layer upon layer - a vintage piece of material that is no longer made in that combination. The result is a stretchy, warm jacket that can be worn as a shrug or closed on the beautiful vintage glass button to cinch around the waist. The 'scales' have been painted in greenish-gold tones with a bit of midnight blue mostly on top and cuffs, with the rest of the sequins left black, and as a result, they catch the light just beautifully, to truly sparkle. Topping the beautiful creation is a dramatic hand-textured collar made out of layers of silk with feather-like finish. The artist has crochetted the entire front of the jacket with fine linen thread to give it more structure and a truly couture look. There is a vintage beaded strip along the entire bottom of the jacket. A truly unique piece you will enjoy for the special occasions. Product code: D0485

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
