A B O U T

A show-stopping example of 1950s evening outerwear, this swing coat is cut from lustrous silk in a brilliant shade of violet purple, designed to add drama and elegance to any ensemble. The silhouette is quintessential 1950's : voluminous and sweeping, allowing it to be worn comfortably over the full skirts of the era’s cocktail and evening dresses.

The coat features a wide portrait collar that frames the neckline beautifully, paired with three-quarter length sleeves finished with deep turned cuffs, emphasizing its couture-inspired lines. Deep side pockets offer both practicality and ease, seamlessly integrated into the voluminous cut. Inside, the coat is lined in soft blush pink silk, providing a luxurious contrast that reveals itself subtly with movement.

Unfitted through the body, the design creates a graceful swing shape, balancing drama and simplicity—an outer layer that was as fashionable as the gowns it accompanied. The richness of the silk, combined with its jewel-tone hue, makes this coat a statement piece for evening affairs, cocktail parties, or the opera. Pairs beautifully with our ivory floral print silk evening dress seen in the photographs.

In excellent condition freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
