A slice of mid-century New York fashion history. This authentic 1970s luxury blouse was crafted for Philippe Pasteur, an exclusive, high-end boutique formerly located at the prestigious 817 Madison Avenue, New York.
Made from heavy, premium vintage silk, it features a striking vibrant brown and cream windowpane grid pattern.
The dramatic, fluid pussy-bow tie neckline and sporty contrast cream sleeve stripes perfectly capture the sophisticated, equestrian-inspired sportswear aesthetic of the era. The top of the sleeves feature an internal insert of interfacing to add structure to the fathers at the top of the sleeve. See image.
A truly timeless wardrobe investment that bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern elegance.
Made from 100% genuine luxury silk with a beautiful, fluid drape it features the original woven boutique label: Philippe Pasteur, 817 Madison Ave, New York
It is in excellent vintage condition. The silk is beautifully preserved with no pulls. However there are a couple of tiny pinhole size marks on the inner edge and towards the bottom of one of the ties and the cuffs have had sympathetically replaced vintage-matched cuff buttons. See images
It is fully functional, structurally sound, and ready to wear.
