1980s Laise Adzer Patchwork Jacket

The print ads for the Laise Adzer boutique in Beverly Hills featured exotic kohl-eyed models in head scarves and gauzy, sensual clothes billowing in the hot desert wind. This colorful patchwork jacket is a study in the colorful Moroccan look that the boutique was known for.

Hand woven in Guatemala for Laise Adzer in a rayon/cotton fabric, the jacket is lined in black cotton, has hidden inseam hip pockets, and is in excellent condition.  Roomy and oversized with a slightly dropped shoulder, the bust, waist and hip measure 55",  sleeve measures 31.5" from center back to cuff, length 29", best on a modern size 8-10. Excellent condition. $125
