"LUNA MATTINO" 90’s Crushed velvet pointed hem vest

Born in 1987 from the lineage of Begi Corporation, and by translating decoration and romanticism into modern patterns, LUNA MATTINO has built a unique presence. Here, we introduce a piece where the brand's aesthetic is densely condensed.

Using a textured crushed velour throughout, it drapes from black to bronze depending on the angle of light, and the intentionally uneven nap creates a three-dimensional effect, producing a quiet sheen and a sense of depth in this exquisite piece.

The front design features a deep V-zone and a well-shaped silhouette, leaving a beautiful space at the chest when layered, enhancing the expression of shirts or cut-and-sew, and maintaining a balance that allows the vest alone to exude dignity.

The body features flap pockets and low-set slit pockets, and while maintaining the neatness of a dress vest, practical details are carefully incorporated for easy everyday use. The buttons are chosen with a subdued gloss that harmonizes with the mood of the material, maintaining overall cohesion while accommodating bold expressions.

The hem at the front is sharply pointed, naturally emphasizing vertical lines when worn, creating a sense of tension in the style without layering a jacket, and beautifully balancing elegance and mode.

On the back, the original cupro lining is iconic, and a pattern featuring the LM monogram and crescent moon motif is woven into the stripe-like color blocking, creating a luxurious feel as if the brand's story unfolds the moment you take it off. Furthermore, the metal buckle on the back allows fine-tuning of the waist fit, enabling the silhouette to be customized to the wearer's body, which is a craftsmanship unique to domestic products of that era.

Regarding the estimated era, the care label uses an old JIS washing symbol, and there are no modern details such as QR codes or URLs. Additionally, considering LUNA MATTINO's strong emphasis on decoration in the 1990s and the excessive jacquard lining and material selection, it is highly credible that this piece is from the early to mid-1990s.

While adhering to a classic format, the design speaks through the luster of the material and the pattern on the back, making it especially recommended for those who want to leave a quiet strength and individuality without forcing adornment, or for those who want to add a single narrative element to their outfit. It also serves as a reliable piece to elevate style without the heaviness of a jacket.

In terms of styling, layering over elegant shirts or tops with a drape, and using slacks or minimalistic long skirts to create vertical lines, the velour's shadowing stands out as the main feature, while maintaining a refined mood regardless of gender. Another beautiful way is to insert it inside a tailored coat or long jacket, leaving the front open to subtly reveal the monogram lining, which is a fun way to create a mode look solely through layering depth, characteristic of LUNA MATTINO.

Take this opportunity.
