Comment
Incredible 1920s cape/jacket with the most exquisite beadwork. It is in fantastic condition for its age with only some very minor missing beadwork in a few places and a small hole to the exterior at the hem edge in the centre of a floral decoration. There are also a few tiny holes and separations to the interior lining. These issues are relatively minor when one considers the age and rarity of the piece.

Carol Craig
Little is known of the Carol Craig Inc label, other than it was registered and traded on 7th Avenue, New York and functioned as a manufacturer, importer and trader. The garments I have found bearing this label have all been very well made and appear to be made for the higher-end of the market. This ensemble is no exception.
Comment
The ensemble is in excellent vintage condition. There are no blemishes that I can see, looks hardly worn.

Lilli Ann
This famous American label was registered in 1933 by Adolf Schuman. Fabrics were specially imported from France and Italy, many made expressly for Lilli Ann. These fabrics were bought from mainly small textile companies that were in dire financial straits after the war and in danger of closing. As a result, Schuman was credited with saving many of these from financial ruin and in official recognition for his services was awarded Medals of Honour from both France and Italy. On the other hand, the Lilli Ann customer knew that their suits, coats and dresses were made of the highest quality, hand-loomed fabric. Lilli Ann was also recognised for its innovative designs and quality construction. The label received the Gold Medal in Fashion Design, America's highest award in fashion. Nowadays, there is very high demand for this label from collectors and fashionistas from around the world. It must be said that this label is one of my all-time favourites as many of my customers know...:)Comment
Can't say enough about this wonderful jacket. It is one of the best Lilli Ann jackets I have owned. I say one of the best because I had an identical one in black several years ago. It is in wonderful condition without any notable flaws. Very rare, desirable jacket. Team it with a black dress, skirt or jeans.
