I love Bonnie Cashin pieces and this two piece set is just fabulous and the vibrant color and simple really make it seem modern even now. It is made from a leather that is quite pliable and has been dyed an amazing shade of a bright coral orange. The skirt is cut on a wide Aline and this cut lets it seem very full and draped once on but without bulk or seeming to add a lot of weight to the wearer. The tunic is amazing - it literally slips over the head and the sides are left completely open with double ties set on each side. It is a great example of her simple approach to design but always with interesting details. Between the fabulous color, the design and the fact that you can wear these separate or together plus just being an amazing example of Bonnie's work, you can't go wrong. Excellent condition
Both pieces are fully lined in a matching colored silky rayon crepe. The tunic ties on each side and the closes with a side painted metal zipper and hook & eye on the waist.
