Note: Jacket is more cherry red than photos.I’m proudly offering for your consideration a vintage handmade embroidered Folk Art Jacket made by women in Southwest China. It is machine stitched and hand embroidered with a colorful theme featuring Birds, animals, spiders, scorpions, insects, and more. This unique jacket has a puffy 3D effect and birds & what looks like maybe a cat or fox or dog? on the on the top part.These are all important symbols of good luck, fertilit...y, abundance, health & wellbeing to the Chinese and that's why they are incorporated in the jacket. The women cut the design out of paper and then they use a bamboo stick with sticky rice to glue the design to the paper and then they do the quilting and embroidery. When you touch and move it you will feel and here the crinkly rustle sound. I believe this jacket was made to wear to festivals. I do know they are considered "Good Luck" jackets for the reasons given above. This is as much as I know. You can research the internet to find more. This is an art that is probably dying out due to modern technology. Rare collectible. 48" Chest. 30" length, 26" sleeve length. I got this from an estate of an older couple who had traveled the world collecting handmade items from local artists, they were downsizing and I was able to pick up some rare and unique items. This being one of them. I do have a quilt and vest made the same way. I may be listing them. You can check out my store if interested. Every buyer gets a MyStoreRewards invitation for cash back
