This exquisite brocade from Cavalli is very haute couture! The design is a jaquard brocade with an exquisite vintage floral and a gold metallic sparkle. This is a lovely lighter suiting weight with wonderful malleability. Exquisite design and fantastic quality. Cavalli made a gorgeous jacket out of this (I have a photo if you'd like to see; I can't post it on the website, but just e-mail me if you'd like to see it). These brocades use a mixture of fibers, both natural and synthetic, sometimes referred to as a "melange" (mixture). Dress up or down, anything from formal wear to jacket or vest with jeans! Dry cleaning recommended.
