Archival Lanvin Boutique Candy-Stripe Raw Silk Blend Cropped Blouse – c. 1990s
Archival Lanvin Boutique Candy-Stripe Raw Silk Blend Cropped Blouse – c. 1990s
### THE VAULT REPORT
A beautifully architectural archival artifact from the Lanvin Boutique line (circa late 1980s / early 1990s). This luxury blouse features a vibrant, high-saturation fuchsia body juxtaposed against crisp pink-and-white candy-stripe accents running along the front button placket, wide retro under-collar, and oversized upturned cuffs.
The silhouette is defined by its cropped, boxy proportions and precise volume gathers at the front shoulder yokes and rear panels, delivering a sophisticated post-modernist silhouette.
### TEXTILE & HARDWARE ARCHITECTURAL REPORT
Crafted in Europe from an ultra-premium, heavyweight raw silk and luxury linen blend displaying a highly structured, heavy crepe slub canvas weave. The textile is characterized by its signature organic irregularities and horizontal slub bars inherent to premium natural raw fibers. This high-density composition gives the blouse a distinct tactile feel, a semi-matte luxury luster under studio lighting, and a crisp, rigid drape that holds its voluminous shape perfectly.
The front closure features genuine, premium four-hole Mother-of-Pearl (Perlmutt) buttons cross-stitched onto a multi-directional woven candy-stripe placket with high-density finished buttonholes—a testament to traditional French luxury ready-to-wear construction codes.
### CONDITION REPORT
Excellent vintage condition. The raw silk blend fabric maintains superb color saturation with no bleeding or fiber degradation. Features the authentic woven "LANVIN" minimalist signature branding tag intact at the shoulder yoke seam line and immaculate natural pearl buttons.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
