EMPORIO GIORGIO ARMANI BLACK VELVET DRAPED COAT WITH TIE - DIAGONAL FLAP DETAIL FRONT

Exquisite Emporio Armani black velvet evening coat Made in Italy. This sophisticated piece exemplifies Italian tailoring at its finest designed as an elegant open-front duster meant to be worn over evening wear to beautifully frame and showcase your outfit underneath.

Crafted in sumptuous black velvety fabric that drapes beautifully, this coat features classic notched collar styling and flattering princess seaming both front and back for a tailored, feminine silhouette. (I have lightened some of the photos so the details can be seen.) Hidden large shoulder pads provide subtle structure and shaping.

The open-front coat design allows your dress or ensemble to be seen while the self-fabric tie belt creates definition and an elegant wrapped effect. (It is not a coat that closes all the way in front but meant to be open somewhat.) The belt threads through an interior opening on one side, wraps around the back on the outside of the coat and ties in a graceful bow slightly left of center at the waist. A striking asymmetric diagonal flap detail on the right front below the belt adds contemporary flair and visual interest.

Luxurious Construction:

• Black satin quilted lining throughout the body for warmth and comfort
• Black satin-lined sleeves for easy wear
• Slash pockets cleverly set into the side seams
• All-black palette for timeless versatility
• Open front styling perfect for layering over evening wear

A timeless investment piece that embodies the sophistication and quality Italian design is renowned for—perfect for elegant evenings and special occasions

Size: Tag says size 8 but go by the measurements rather than the size tag. I wear a size 10 and it was much to small for me.  I think possibly it would fit a size 6 or a small size 8 but go by the measurements rather than the size tag. Measure a coat that you own that fits you well and compare measurements with that coat and the measurments of this coat.  Remember you will be wearing the coat over other clothes so make sure that you get the coat a bit larger than a blouse you would buy.

Approximate measurements - This means the measurements of the garment that is listed - not of your own figure.  You must be a few inches smaller than the measurements shown.

Bust:  37 - 38

Sleeve from neck: 29 - 30

Shoulder to shoulder:  15-1/2

Length:  40

Fabric:  No tag but a velvety fabric & satiny quilted lining

Care:  No fabric content or care labels.

Condition:  Very good - The velvet maintains its beautiful texture with only approximately 1/2 inch of minor crushing on the edge of one lapel - bare noticiable.  Some lightening or color wear appears on the underarm areas of the interior lining (not visible when worn and likely removable with cleaning.)  The exterior velvet, belt and all details remain in lovely condition.

Care Instructions

We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.

Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.

Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.

Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.

The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
