My husband found it at a thrift store. He bought it because my daughter needed an outfit to wear to school for cultural day. Since my husband is of moroccan decent he thought this bolero would work for a "kaftan" look. When he brought it home I was looking at the insides and thought the"gauze" like lining looked fairly old and odd for today. There is a fair amount of bead work and "metal wire" like thread. No tags on it, seams and hems also stood out to me as being older. Any ideas if it is vintage or not?
---------Way Newbie to this vintage world! But fascinated!
 
another close up... I tried to reserach pics of bolero jackets. Did see pics of some from late1920s/1930s that had this cut especially thew shape of the collar...
