Vintage JOSEPH 100% Luxury Cashmere Designer Tailor Fitted Blazer Jacket

No dispatch between Dec 21-Jan 3

£550 paid   |   100% Cashmere   |   Premium Designer Label   |   Made in France   

This versatile 100% cashmere blazer was purchased in the mid 90's at the JOSEPH Knightsbridge, London branch for £550.

Today you will only find blended material blazers in mainly wool with a tiny proportion of cashmere in Joseph starting at £600, or a manmade fabric one starting at £400.

Luxuriously crafted with the finest premium pure cashmere and flattering tailoring, this timeless easy-to-wear piece will make a great staple for your winter wardrobe, keeping you warm whilst looking smart & stylish.

Buttons are beautiful, they come in a darkish pearlescent tone showing some subtle abstract patterns that appear to change colours depending on the lighting.  Some of my photos show that they are marble beige but this is NOT the case to the naked eyes.  Despite many attempts, I have not been able to photograph the buttons as accurately as I'd like because the jacket is very dark and the button colour is not flat or matte, in fact, they are also tricky to describe and my text description is based my own observation, of which you may not agree when you see them in real life. 
If knowing exactly how the buttons look is crucial, you will need to contact me before buying to discuss collect in person as I can't be responsible for any 'not as describe' claim.

Condition:  Briefly worn for no more than 3 occasions so it is in great condition with hardly any sign of wear.  This blazer sadly has not fitted me since ages ago and has been carefully stored in my moth-proof closet on a padded hanger with a fully zipped wardrobe cover.  Comes from a very clean home, pet & smoke free.

2nd hand garments and accessories (new & used)

I will pack the garment very well, but it may arrive with some wrinkles due to being folded in transit.

With exception of NEW items and dry clean only garments, they are laundered and air dried prior to the listing and then stored away in a clean environment until sold.

I never use any fabric conditioner as this impacts negatively on the environment and also very damaging to the fabric, especially the kind used for outdoor / waterproof garments, fleece garments and school uniforms.

Unless you buy brand new from a retailer, it is a fact that most 2nd hand garments and accessories (new or used) may typically have some degree of 'smell' from various substances which may commonly include laundry detergent, fabric conditioner, perfume, anti-static dryer sheets, air / room / wardrobe freshener, body deodorant, moth repellent, potpourri sachet, etc.  Any 'smell’ of this nature is always temporarily more elevated when the garment has been completely confined and sealed inside a plastic bag during transit, and anyone not used to a new smell may find it extra pungent.   Such ''SMELL' is subjective to each individual, even if you may not be keen of it, it is not a case of ‘Defect, damaged' or 'Not as Described'.  To neutralise any smell, I have found that the combination of laundering and airing out  is usually an effective measure, which is also a hygienic general practice to treat 2nd hand garments before wearing.   If you cannot accept this typical condition as part of purchasing 2nd hand, please buy brand new from a retailer instead.
