1960s Bonnie Cashin Pink Wool Boucle Jacket

cashin had an astounding sense of color Of all the Bonnie Cashin colors in the Sills rainbow, pink is always a perennial favorite. But Bonnie didn't do just one shade of pink - noooooooooo. She did everything from strawberry ice cream to American Beauty rose, each one as close to nature as any human could ever get. She approached color with the eye of a painter and texture with the touch of a blind woman whose entire world is judged by how it feels in the hand. A gorgeous soft blue-pink wool boucle jacket trimmed in baby pink leather. Swinging out at the hem and closing along the placket with a row of brass turnlocks, the pockets "lock" and are extra deep so you can opt for no purse (but who in the hell would pass on the opportunity to show off great vintage accessories?). Welted square seams at the armhole and gathered along the upper back to form a feminine yoke, this is gorgeous with a red Sonia Rykiel skirt and Edmundo Castillo slingbacks. Bust up to 42", shoulder to shoulder 16", outer sleeve 23.5" and length 31". Excellent condition. $605.00
