Vintage 50s Mexican Souvenir Jacket





This is such a sweet little jacket I love it so much especailly because of the detail of the two dancing partners. In the 50s mexican women would sit at the roadside selling these handmade jackets to American tourists. They are very collectable now and I have two and adore them!

  1. it is almost 60 years of old, any one who is really passionate about the textiles would have liked to have it in their collections. We can't value such things which are really rare.
