A seriously cool vintage red suede sleeveless top with an almost western-meets-folk feel. Cut with a simple scoop neckline and decorated with layered suede appliqué, zig-zag edging, cut-out details and stitched patchwork across the front. The rich red colour and raw-edged finish give it plenty of character, while the clean back keeps the silhouette simple.

Condition: Good vintage condition with some expected signs of age and wear. There are a few areas of light wear and marks to the suede, all visible in the photographs. These add to its authentic vintage character.
Why We Love It: This is exactly the kind of odd little vintage piece that makes an outfit. The bright red suede, exaggerated patchwork and slightly rustic finish feel very 1970s without looking costume-y. Wear it over a simple tee or fitted knit, or let it do all the work with high-waisted denim.
