| Vintage blazer Escada Elements (in transit), similar here |
This blazer was purchased with the sole purpose of being sold. So I began to do some research on it. I had already established this blazer was at least 15 years old, because if the fabric and length. I had also figured it was of good quality because of the mother of pearl buttons which were engraved with a tree of life and the zipper pulls which were made of leather. The cut also indicated it was well made. It had no tags but it did have a printed lining that read Escada Elements that gave me a lead.
As I continued to examine it, I unzipped one of the pockets. It contained a theatre stub, with a date October 1999. I then learned here that Escada Elements was born under the Todd Oldham era in 1995, which indicated that this blazer is very likely from around 1997. How about that ?
Do you ever do any research on your vintage finds ?

How amazing to find that theatre ticket to help you date it! I love that sort of thing (do you remember the bar ticket I found in my leather pants back in 2011?). I always do research on my finds!
Love this jacket, Lorena, what a great find. You are fortunate to have such great thrifting and consignment options in your area!
It's awesome you were able to find out so much about your blazer! :) I don't have many vintage pieces - the ones that I do have are bags! Australia is quite a young country so not a lot of vintage stuff around. Some opshops have a small section of it! It's a beautiful blazer too, great find!
Hope that your week is going well :)
