Imagine the yummiest, most toothy and fun vintage plaid ever. Now, take a look at this one. Vintage tweeds trump all but the most expensive of contemporary textiles. They're tactile, vivid, luscious, and sometimes, as in this case, witty. Presenting a fern green and copper confetti tweed --- autumnal tones speckled with white, turquoise, gold and red flecks. The textile does all the talking ; skirt structure is minimal --- a stright skirt with a small side vent accented by leather buttons. Collegiate. Half-lined in rayon. All plaids are purr-fectly matched. By Koret of Califonia, of San Francisco. size : large
