Vintage AnnaBelinda Fuchsia Raw Silk Jacket – UK 12

Beautifully Tailored, Remarkably Rare

A breathtaking vintage occasion jacket by AnnaBelinda of Oxford, created in luminous fuchsia-pink raw silk and finished with the most exquisite embroidered detailing.

The beautifully tailored silhouette follows the waist before opening into a softly gathered back peplum. Black piping traces the sculptural seams, drawing attention to the jacket’s exceptional cut, while fifteen black silk-covered loop buttons create a striking line through the centre front.

The black contrast panels are intricately embroidered with flowers and birds in soft shades of cream, blush pink, turquoise, lavender and fuchsia. This extraordinary workmanship is repeated across the mandarin collar, functional front pockets, fixed cuffs and rear martingale half-belt.

Inside, the jacket is fully lined in lustrous rose-pink satin.

Why I Love This

This is AnnaBelinda at its most distinctive: rich colour, superb tailoring and an unexpected combination of English eccentricity and Eastern-inspired embroidery.

Every angle reveals another special detail, from the covered buttons and curved pockets to the shaped back and softly flared peplum. It is dramatic without feeling theatrical and could be worn with slim black trousers for an elegant occasion or styled more simply with a black skirt or dress.

It is also an exceptionally rare surviving example from this celebrated independent Oxford label—and one that appears to have been barely, if ever, worn.

As with all vintage garments, very minor variations associated with age may be present. The natural slubs and irregularities within the raw silk are characteristics of the fabric rather than flaws.
