Discover your inner hippie in this fabulous hand painted suede vest.

The long pointed collar and back of this wonderful piece are a burnt orange knit fabric. The same colour cotton yarn is used to crochet the suede panels together with a patchwork effect. The suede has been hand painted or printed with a green and orange floral design. The front panels are lined with rayon. No fabric labels, but I suspect the knit fabric is also rayon/viscose. Closes with a zip in the front. There is no brand label. Made in Hong Kong, late 1960s or early 1970s.
