1950s 1960s 'Kay Bee' Black Velvet Jacket
A sweet and simple late '50s or early '60s velvet jacket from Kay Bee. This little darling features a wide collar and button-front closure, making it the perfect throw-on jacket for a winter party outfit. Made from soft black velvet, it has slightly puffed and padded at the shoulder and is lined in smooth crepe for a lovely finish.
Condition: Very good. The velvet shows some wear and isn’t as luxe as it once was, but it still retains its charm and presents beautifully.
