A striking vintage black velvet jacket by Simon Ellis from the Gold Medal Collection, featuring vibrant green floral sleeves and beautiful jewelled buttons. The fitted shape, softly padded shoulders and round neckline give it a distinctly 1980s silhouette, while the contrast between the plain velvet body and patterned sleeves makes it a real statement piece.
Wear it with vintage denim for an easy day-to-evening look, or lean into its dressed-up feel with tailored trousers and a simple top.
