Plaid Vintage Jacket Disco Blazer Silk http://www.etsy.com/shop/AgelessThings

http://www.etsy.com/listing/67982123/plaid-vintage-jacket-disco-blazer-silk
Punk rock, disco era style silk blazer jacket, made in Italy.

Muted plaid pattern. Colors are burgandy, bluish grey green and navy blue. Slightly padded shoulders.

Blazer is lined in moss green color, but the sleeves are lined in white.

This jacket has many labels on it. One is Seta pura, pure silk, made in Italy. Then another one iPunkt, English-House, Hamburg. And yet a third, Val di Taro, Confezioni, handmade in Italy.

There is a paper tag inside, with what I think is a delivery date of 11-26-73. This tag also seems to have information as to the client, in Italian, so I think it was specially made for someone.

Alas, no size tag.

Here are the measurement which I take laying flat.
Please compare them carefully to a garment that fits you.

Vintage

My newest

Handbag Vintage Silver Gray Puff Bag
http://www.etsy.com/listing/67619653/handbag-vintage-silver-gray-puff-bag
This is a small handbag in a silvery gray color.

Vintage 70's or early 80's.

Hinged opening with a double strap long enough to go over the shoulder.

I called it a puff bag because it lays flat, but is pleated at the top and bottom. As you fill it, it poofs out.

The only label is Made in Taiwan.

Don't know what it is made of. It is not leather, but has that look and feel.

There are no rips or tears and the interior is in nice condition. However, there are small areas where it looks like something splatter on it. They are very small, but wanted you to know. Also has aging cracks, gives it a bit of character.

Measures
10 inches across
9 inches tall
