While a vintage Roberta di Camerino bag is certain to attract scores of "ooohs" and "ahhhhs" from strangers, a printed velvet Roberta di Camerino coat is enough to make another girl plot your murder. Normally harmless remarks like, "I would KILL for that coat" should not be taken lightly if this is your coat and someone else is talking about it. Hire a bodyguard, take kung-fu but for God's sake, do not let them take your Roberta coat away from you! A magnificent reptile-printed cotton velvet coat from Giuliana in shades of, what else, crocodile skin. Cafe au lait with brown and black shadows and scales all over, this has a handful of little gold embossed "R" and dagger buttons along the placket and wrists. From the decorative breast pocket with gilded button to the slanted cuffs at each wrist, adorned with another pair of those golden beauties, there is almost nothing to compare to its obviously luxe personality. Slash pockets at each hip with decorative illusion patch pockets below them and slits to the knee on both sides, anyone who has a vintage clue will not have to ask but they WILL want to know where the hell you got the magnificent thing. Are you going to tell? Subtle variations of color and shade and depth, just like an animals' skin and we love this over everything from cropped Goat corduroy pants to a Gaspard Yurkievich white dress. Lined in printed Roberta caramel silk, the bust measures 38", shoulder to shoulder 15.5", outer sleeve 22" and total length 47.5". Excellent condition and one of those things that will rock your vintage world, even if you're a jaded old hag of a shopper. $1520.00 |
