Vintage 1963 Lilli-Ann Cream Mohair Rhinestone Beaded Tie-Collar Swing Coat

About the Item

An absolutely gorgeous Lilli-Ann designer coat dating back to their documented 1963 fall-winter collection. Lilli Ann was started in San Francisco in 1933 by Adolph Schuman, naming his company for his wife, Lillian. The company became known for their beautiful, elaborately designed suits and coats. This stunning garment is fashioned in a soft fully-lined cream imported mohair wool. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; almost having a 3-dimensional feel. The construction is impeccable and has the type of seamed pattern work that one rarely sees today. The bodice has an amazing large ascot-tie collar decorated with sparkling studded rhinestones and beaded jewels. I love those 3/4 cropped sleeves! The swing skirt finishes the coat with that perfect vintage vibe. This exquisite Lilli-Ann will definitely make any woman shine during the upcoming cold winter months! Measurements Bust: 40 inches inches Waist: Free Sweep Hips: Free Sweep Sleeve Length: 16 inches Total Length: 40 inches This Lilli-Ann designer garment is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Lots of wonderful detail and immaculate seaming. Only sign of age is a few missing beads which is not noticeable when worn. This coat is over 60 years old and is truly stunning.

  • Vintage 1969 Thea Porter Couture Rare 'Samawa' Embroidered Wool Documented Coat
    By Thea Porter Couture, Thea Porter
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    An ultra rare and highly coveted Thea Porter Couture ‘Samawa’ colorful woven wool coat dating back to her fall-winter 1969 collection. An example of this gorgeous garment can be found in the book 'Thea Porter: Bohemian Chic' by Laura McLaws Helms and Venetia Porter on page 60. This is a such a unique and truly iconic piece within her body of work. I adore the vibrant abstract natural yarn pattern work, which was inspired by Iraqi 'Samawa' carpets, as well as the side hemline slits that reveal a luxurious black satin lining. The rabbit fur trim is so incredibly soft and the zip-up front closure makes this piece so wearable. An almost identical coat was even featured in British Vogue's Fall 1970 issue, shot by the famous Barry Lategan. During this period, Thea Porter's clothing attracted many celebrity customers who enjoyed wearing her erotic creations whose secret was to conceal rather than reveal. Her clients, some of whom also became her friends, included Lauren Bacall, Bianca Jagger, Mick Jagger, Sharon Tate, Elizabeth Taylor, and Pete Townshend. This magical garment originally sold at Giorgio’s of Beverly Hills which is less than a mile away from our boutique! A truly important museum worthy coat by the queen of the bohemian fashion...

    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    This ultra-chic early 1970's Harella of England maxi coat will make any woman shine during cold months ahead. The fabric itself is gorgeous; vibrant teal blue-green midweight cotton-velvet. I love the matching brass buttons and long, lean cuffed sleeves. Shaped with a-line seams that flare out in a slight swing-skirt, the figure flattering cut adds fullness to the skirt without adding bulk in the hips. Complete with a back mock-belt and hidden pockets. The mark of a truly fashionable garment is that it remains current event 50 years later, as does this statement coat...
