A GUCCI shawl-collar cashmere jacket, estimated to be from the 1980s.
A special arrival.
GUCCI, a name synonymous with luxury across the world.
GUCCI was founded in 1921 in Florence, Italy, beginning as a purveyor of fine leather goods—travel bags, equestrian equipment, and the like.
Often regarded as the progenitor of the luxury brand itself, GUCCI was the first house to inscribe a designer's name upon its creations as a mark of quality assurance.
The pieces produced under the Gucci family's stewardship—particularly from the 1970s through 1980s—remain highly sought after, with collectors worldwide treasuring them as objects of art.
We present to you a cashmere jacket from that storied period of Old GUCCI.
Cashmere is a natural fibre drawn from the cashmere goat. Each animal yields merely 100 to 200 grams of down per year—a scarcity that has afforded cashmere its reputation. It is prized for its lightness, suppleness, and warmth.
It is called, with reason, the jewel of fibres.
This jacket employs cashmere with a generosity befitting its cost. The performance is, needless to say, without compromise.
Yet it is not function alone that distinguishes this piece. The design carries a refined sensibility.
The shawl collar commands attention without announcement. The flap pockets at the waist speak of considered proportion. The walnut buttons carry a quiet dignity. There is no artifice here—only an understated elegance that emanates from every detail. This is what one expects from a house of GUCCI's calibre.
It is a jacket of genuine refinement and presence.
It pairs naturally with formal composition—a scarf alongside it would elevate an entire silhouette into something decidedly more assured. Given its half-coat proportions, it sits gracefully even when worn over another jacket.
Marked size 50, this is a generous cut, accommodating a fuller frame with ease.
One button is absent, though this is a minor absence in an otherwise sound piece. There are no substantial marks that would impede wear.
This is Old GUCCI—from the family era, and rare for that reason. For those who value authenticity and provenance, such details matter.
It serves equally well as a working wardrobe piece or as a collector's object.
Pieces of this provenance appear infrequently. Should you have been seeking such a thing, this would be the moment.
