This particular coat was likely bought at Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles. Authentic Givenchy from the 1960s. It doesn't go all the way through due to the lining, so it's wearable and not noticeable, but to prevent making the hole any larger, it should be sewn up.
The original production adds a touch of authenticity to these stylish and retro accessories.
The fitted bodice is made from plush black cotton velvet with long sleeves and decorative front buttons showcasing the signature style of early 1980s Givenchy ready to wear design. This sophisticated silhouette exemplifies the romantic evening wear aesthetic popularized during the golden age of designer fashion.
Solid red in color with the Givenchy logo at the front center. Pullover mock turtleneck, with 1/4 rear zip. Shoulder seam to shoulder seam, across the back, laid flat = 13.75".
