Vintage Gold Brocade Cropped Mandarin Jacket
A luxurious and dramatic vintage cropped jacket from the reputable tailor Ying Tai Co. of Hong Kong and Shanghai. This cropped jacket is crafted from a rich, structured brocade fabric that makes it a stunning statement piece for evening events or adding exotic flair to a modern wardrobe.
Exquisite Brocade Fabric: The material is a black satin base (likely a silk blend or high-quality rayon) with a continuous, vibrant metallic gold brocade weave depicting floral or ribbon motifs.
Classic Mandarin Style: The jacket features a traditional Mandarin collar and a flattering, slightly cropped bolero silhouette. The three-quarter length sleeves have a slight bell shape for a dramatic cuff.
Frog Closures: It fastens down the front with three sets of decorative black knot (frog) closures, which are both functional and a key authentic design element.
Tailored Construction: The original tailor tag indicates high-quality construction. The jacket is fully lined in solid black satin, offering a smooth fit and a refined finish.
This piece blends vintage elegance with modern styling possibilities, pairing perfectly with high-waisted trousers (as pictured) or over a simple black dress.
