This cape is influenced by the 1920s. The beading is in the Art Deco style and is hand done in clear crystals and rhinestones.. Ralph Lauren used the best quality of products making this cape. Very limited quantities were made and also very few stores were allowed to have it. Bergdorf was one and only store in NYC to have it and well as Ralph’s Flagship store. The cape falls just above the knee. Highly beaded in a swirl pattern with just a hint of the velvet coming through the beads are round, square and bugle in shape. The round collar has an Art Deco clasp in rhinestones. The way the cape is weighted at the bottom so it will never ride up when you walk is pure genius in design. The lining is black acetate. This cape will get the wearer full attention. Measurements are hard to be precise except the shoulders which are 15 and the length 42 capes are non fitted so it should fit most everywhere else. Excellent condition worn once
