This sophisticated jacket is beautiful enough for formal occasions yet subtle enough for everyday wear. Gorgeous woven designs on black create the striking look of a lush garden at midnight.
Subtly lustrous blue, red, and yellow laquer threads create bellflowers and bamboo leaves. Glossy damask creates clouds and paper shapes lost in the garden by day.
A single gold-embroidered crest adds a final stately touch.
