Seller's description

Step into old-world old-Hollywood glamour. This magnificent vintage 1940s to 1950s evening opera swing coat is crafted from a heavy, midnight black velvet fabric that drapes beautifully over formalwear. I do not see a size tag but it fits like a Large or XL.

Designed with a sweeping, voluminous dramatic swing silhouette, it features an elegant open draped front profile and luxurious, thick curly black Astrakhan (faux Persian lamb) textured fur cuffs. Fully lined in a rich pink satin material, this pristine statement duster is an absolute showstopper for formal winter evening wear, classic theater events, or high-end Dark Academia and Gothic styling.
