1960s Odette Barsa Loose & Easy Fitting Pink Caftan w Wide Pink Feather Cuffs designer-jean-patou I love the high collar

I love the high collar and the full sleeves that are caught by a wide band of silk jersey at each cuff

I am no expert on furs but believe this is perhaps beaver or a long haired mink

In 2015 Rihanna wore one of these jackets and caused a sensation for them

Fully lined in a cream silk through the bodice and a heavier cotton through the skirt

If not for the label and slightly different grade fabrications you almost get the thought that you are handling a piece of very well made vintage Haute Couture

1960s Odette Barsa Loose & Easy Fitting Pink Caftan w Wide Pink Feather Cuffs designer-jean-patou I love the high collarOdette Barsa was a lingerie designer who was very successful. She was born in Syria in 1901 and came to America where she married Simon Barsa in 1922. Her husband had a successful business but it got into trouble after the 1929 stock market crash so she started making lingerie. She imported her fabric and embroideries and made high end lingerie up until her death in 1975. This would have been meant to be more of a hostess piece that you would wear
