c1975 Thea Porter Couture Black Silk Velvet 'Chazara' Jacket designer-malcolm-starr Made of hand set andThese jackets were a Thea Porter signature and were introduced into her collections in 1975. The name 'Chazara' came form a type of butterfly and they were made in a multitude of fabrics and colors. Here we have a beautiful and deceptively simple version in an inky black silk velvet. Inside it is lined in a luxurious ivory silk satin. It is hip length with a long and lean cut. A Nuhru collar tops the hidden row of hook and eye that closes the front.
