Vintage Escada by Margaretha Ley Velvet Jacket

This is a collector's piece. Full stop.

A Escada by Margaretha Ley black velvet jacket from the brand's golden era — entirely hand-embellished along the front lapels and cuffs with a sweeping multicolour sequin design featuring gold appliqué stars, a crescent moon face, and waves of purple, pink, green, red and gold sequins that catch every light in the room.

Red silk lining visible at the interior. Gold chain detail at the neckline. Collarless structured silhouette with padded shoulders, three-quarter sleeves, and a clean black velvet body that lets the embellishment do all the talking.

Escada by Margaretha Ley — the original founder's line — is one of the most sought-after labels in luxury vintage. Pieces from this era are actively collected and worn by fashion editors, stylists and vintage connoisseurs worldwide.

This is not just a jacket. This is an heirloom.

One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
