This 1920s cocoon cape was made from a lush black velvet material with stunning gold silk lining that offers a decadent contrast. An iconic look of the era, this cape envelopes you with a rounded body and cinched 'hobble' style skirting that is out of this world. Ruched detail at the top of the shoulders and very low drop 'waist' gives excellent texture, with a sweet off-center bow at the nape of the neck that gives a subtle yet ever-so-lovely bit of adornment. This cape falls to the ankle with an asymmetrical hem. This piece pairs well with just about anything making it very versatile. No closures; would look excellent with an antique clasp.

Condition:
Very good-excellent: Exceptionally well condition considering age; looks to have been rarely worn and lovingly stored.

Cape can be safely worn and presents beautifully.
