Vtg 80s Velvet Fringed Jacket Batwing Sleeves Paula Sweet Sz M/8 Black & Paisley

Specifications

I have loved and received compliments galore on my Paula Sweet Muslin Mink jacket from the 1980's, oversized--check out the measurements--with batwing sleeves, in Black Shredded velvet on a red, gold and black velvet paisley background. Two bottom buttons, two side pockets in size 8 or a medium. In rayon, I purchased this jacket in New York City at a designer sale--and paid well over $100 for it. See the information at the bottom, showing that her muslin mink jacket is now housed at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The main photo shows the jacket without shoulder pads, and the next few photos (too much light, sorry) show the jacket with the shoulder pads, which I removed in the mid-90's. They can be pinned back on. No stains, tears, etc.--kept in good conditions (no vintage odor) in my pet and smoke free always house. Time to pass this on to another fashionista. The ubiquitous Mink was a fashion phenomenon which took hold of the public imagination in the 1980s and catapulted Paula Sweet’s fashion house, home products and art into the international spotlight. For over two decades the brand was present in top-end department stores and magazine pages, not to mention in the wardrobes and on the backs of the fast and furious, the famous, the fantastic and the down-to-earth. Today a Muslin Mink can be found in the permanent collection at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, while vintage creations enjoy lively trading on Ebay by international collectors and fashionistas.
