Hello everyone :)
I just purchased this lovely black (wool?) jacket, and I would really appreciate any help with dating it. Just based on the shape and the sloped shoulders, I am getting a new look vibe, something late forties early fifties, but I could be totally off. The only label on it says Béve :)
The waist is super cinched in, it has three buttons made from something that looks like bakelite or another type of plastic. It is fully lined, a bit loose on some of the inside seams, and I see no signs of overlocking or shearing anywhere. I did a burn test on some of the loose threads in the lining - it smells very meaty and organic and burns up quickly (I made a video that I am not sure I will be able to attach.
It has lovely shaped pockets that make it flare out a bit at the bottom, emphasizing the waspy waist. They have some beading and a thick silky type of embroidery.
Thank you in advance for your expertise ♥️

I also found this on etsy when I searched for Beve, could be completely unrelated but the accent of the word is the same and my other searches take me into the direction of italian :)

Oh thank you all so much! I love the princess coat from Etsy
And I love a vintage mystery! So far - the é with the accent looks to be Swedish, as well as both other coat finds from Etsy - perhaps by different designers but under the same brand. The one I found is by Marta Törnqvist Stockholm, and the one @Dilly Day is also in Swedish! I found a company called Saxylle (scissors) which was a fabric factory, now closed (I will post a screenshot from their website). The tyg med Betyg phrase means ‘graded fabric’ :)
So, still a bit of a mystery but at least we have a place of origin! I am not familiar enough with Scandinavian typography from the 40s or 80s to claim anything, but will continue to dig. Should I submit this label for the label resource? Or does it require knowing a bit more about the brand?
 
Here is the screenshot of the fabric factory founded in 1896!

So, I went down a rabbit hole, found a phd thesis on the development in Swedish fashion grom 1930-1960, super interesting, that talks a lot about building the swedishness of their fashion industry, as well as translating Dior designs to fit their climate and taste :) here are a few screenshots I took, if anyone is interested - after seeing some of these catalogue images, I would place it into early fifties :) I will also include two photos with examples of magazine typography that feels very contemporary and cool
 
That. I read the pdf file and it is very interesting and what I found is that we are looking for Beve when actually the company that manufactured it is SK saxville kilsund which was leading textile company between 1930 and 2004 when it closed its building.
