Vintage Escada by Margaretha Ley tailored blazer in a rich burgundy / wine tone, crafted during Escada's most celebrated era. This piece exemplifies the brand's reputation for unmatched quality, precision tailoring, and luxurious materials. The blazer is made from an exceptional wool, cashgora, and new wool blend — a fabric combination prized for its softness, warmth, durability, and refined drape. Cashgora, derived from Cashmere goats, is particularly valued for its smooth hand feel and insulating properties, elevating this blazer well beyond standard wool garments. Construction is superior and unmistakably high-end: structured shoulders, clean lapels, balanced proportions, and a beautifully tailored double-breasted silhouette. The weight and finish of the fabric, combined with Escada's expert craftsmanship, give the blazer a polished look that holds its shape impeccably over time. Gold-tone buttons add a classic Escada signature and reinforce the jacket's luxury feel. This is a true investment-quality vintage designer piece — made to last, and increasingly difficult to find in this level of condition and fabric composition.
