Silk Paisley and Stripe Jacket
The lacy teardrop shape known as paisley originated in Persia and came to be closely associated with the work of Indian Kashmiri weavers. As trade between Asia and Europe expanded in the 18th century, demand for the pattern was so great that weavers in the town of Paisley, Scotland, created their own version of the design, giving the pattern its Western name. Incorporating these curved and leaflike paisley shapes, our jacket is handcrafted of 100% silk. Artisans working in India embellish each jacket by hand with embroidery and beadwork, guaranteeing that no two will be exactly alike. Fully lined.
Made in India. 100% silk, exclusive of trim.
Dry clean.

Comments about Silk Paisley and Stripe Jacket:
With so many colors in the garment, there are a number of different colored tops that can be worn to change it up. Laundering is a bit of a chore. Because there are is so much plastic trim, pressing with an iron is tricky.

Comments about Silk Paisley and Stripe Jacket:
This jacket has hidden hook & eye closures that allow it to be worn completely closed--which really highlights the stunning details. Or leave it open with only a light shell underneath. It dresses up a pair of jeans or it can be worn with dress pants or a skirt. I love this jacket!

Comments about Silk Paisley and Stripe Jacket:
I like lots of colour & ethnic-arty fashion, so thought this would be great. It looks rather 'cheap & gaudy' on and is not what I had hoped for, at all. I returned it at considerable cost but that's the gamble when you buy on-line!

From National Geographic:Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this jacket. We are happy to hear you are pleased with its versatility, fit, and comfort. Because of the sequins, ironing should be done on the reverse side, as with any garment with ornamentation.
