1971 Pierre Cardin Runway/Documented Space Age Cape

This must be the single rarest piece of fashion history to pass through my hands yet. I don't believe even the Pierre Cardin museum here in Paris has this one in their collection. Moreover, this would appear to be a runway piece as it has a handwritten tag saying N° 83. There are photos of other colorways but I've never seen this color, and I've never come across another one still in existence.

Made of a soft, woolen cloth, the color is something between a muted teal and a pine green. You can see in the photos that it takes on a slightly different hue with each change of light and position. Six large, black metal snaps close up the front and the shiny, black patent leather belt fits through the circular cut outs to cinch in the waist.

This incredible, heavily documented piece is in great overall condition even with some signs of age, mostly on the button snaps and the belt. That is to say, there are no appreciable flaws but close inspection will show that it's not brand new. If you need any extra information or photos I am happy to oblige.

There is no sized indicated with a label but I'd say it's best suited for M/L. You can see the measurements on the last image. The belt is adjustable from 32 in to 33.5 inches.
