Luxurious 1960s Pierre Cardin Cape

 This ultra sumptuous Pierre Cardin cape is mid to late '60s and is in *pristine* condition.

It may look like a plain black cape but it is one of those secret luxury pieces that you can only understand when you see it in person, feel it and wear it.

It's a medium weight, so good for mid-season or cold season if you layer. There's no composition label but I think it's a wool/cotton blend. It has a satiny lining and an inside pocket (shown with something in it so you can see it more clearly). It has openings for your hands and you can even use them to wear a belt with it if you want. The front closes up with 5 buttons in their beautiful bound buttonholes, which is always a sign of thoughtful tailoring (photo 7).

It possesses the black Pierre Cardin label done in gold thread as well as a made in France label.

It's a true black inside and out. If any of the photos look otherwise it's because they've been altered so you can see the details. 

There's no size label but I'd say it's more or less one-size-fits-all unless you have a very tiny frame. 

See the circumference measurements below as well as the flat measurements in the last photo. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! 

Shoulders: up to 17 in / 43 cm (mine are 14 in / 35 cm so you can see how it fits me)

Length: 39 in / 100 cm (I'm 5'3" / 1m60)
