I am obsessed with velvet Pucci's right now. The depth of color and the richness of the fabric feels so right again. especially with all the velvet that modern designers are showing on the runways again. Of course, among vintage collectors, this is the fabric that has always been one the most prized to find. Each piece is equally strong on its own and though sold as a set, I think the girl who snatches this up will get as much use, if not more, out of it by wearing them as separates so they shine in their own right. The skirt is a gorgeous flat fronted cut that flows out into a wide A-line. This really allows that print to be shown off and gives a beautiful, sculptural line as it falls to the floor.  It buttons completely open so you can allow as much leg as you wish to show. The jacket slips on and buttons to close and has an almost denim jacket cut to it - cropped and fitted. You can easily wear it on its own without anything under it or layer it over other pieces. The colors are fabulous - that classic vivid Pucci motif - and it is so versatile since you can wear it as shown or as separates. This is a very rare and covetable set. Excellent condition

The jacket is fully lined in a black, hand set silk faille and closes with hidden set mother-of-pearl buttons at the front. The skirt is lined with a black muslin also hand set. It also closes with a series of hidden set MOP buttons down the front. The very last button on the skirt is missing and some of the buttons show chipping around there edges. None show when its on so this is mentioned for accuracy only. Both pieces are tagged as vintage Pucci 12s but of course check measurements as this does not correlate to modern sizing.
