1960s Pierre Balmain Black Textured Coat

Chic vintage 1960s Pierre Balmain Black Textured Coat. Fabulous textured fabric runs throughout the coat. Buttons downs the front of the coat with two side pockets. Fully lined.

Following the post-war New Look of which Pierre Balmain was a pioneer, the 1960s-70s brought Balmain's attentions to the exploration of fabrics to create new shapes, with an emphasis on structure rather than ornamentation. Designer to both royalty and celebrities, his clothes have an inherent elegance.
