Vintage Bill Blass Cream and Navy Pinstripe Ladies Blazer

We LOVE vintage blazers. Period. Despite living in the tropics, we wear them a lot. This gorgeous hip length vintage Bill Blass for Saks Fifth Avenue is from our personal closet, and is oftentimes paired with a pair of slacks or boot cut jeans and a t-shirt; it gives the illusion of being dressed up at work and frankly makes us feel like Bonnie (of Bonnie and Clyde)! Bill Blass' classic feminine tailoring and minimalist silhouettes are a go-to for us because of their timeless nature. You can dress this power piece up or down, and of course the lapels offer a lot of real estate to add a brooch or three.

~CONDITION:
Very, very good vintage condition. There are some minor spots on the coat that if we had to guess are soy sauce (hopefully from an over the top 80's power couple sushi dinner) and some ring around the collar. We have not attempted to clean the stains as they really are not super visible; you are welcome to if they really bug you, but they don't bug us enough to do it. We have had the jacket dry cleaned and maintain that with at home dry cleaning.
