pure art antique silk and linen highly detailed jacket
This jacket is a true definition of a work of art. It is made with the finest materials to begin with - antique damask silk, textured Belgian linen and embroidered French linen, along with other silks and natural materials for trim, which the artist has painted many times, distressed many times, and repainted to produce every half tone imaginable in this color scheme, which is grayish-bluish with a touch of beige and green, with splashes of more vivid blue and aqua. No picture could possible do this creation full justice. Painstakingly assembled out of these different materials, it is further enhanced by overlay and texturing. A full row of buttons as a closure completes this truly unique, highly artistic look. Flattering A-line will work well for a range of sizes. PLEASE NOTE - you can see how it looks bluer in some pictures and more warm-colored in others; due to the depth of silk and the way it is brushed, it picks up the shades around accordingly, depending on the direction of lighting, so it's close to both shades. Product code: S3290

Spot clean or dry clean.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
