1980s Valentino Miss V Houndstooth Lambswool Double Breasted Blazer

A beautifully tailored vintage Valentino Miss V blazer in classic black and ivory houndstooth. Cut from 100% lambswool, this jacket has a distinctly sculptural late-1980s silhouette with strong shoulders, a fitted waist, exaggerated notched lapels, and a double-breasted front.

The standout detail is the set of oversized black buttons inset with luminous faux pearl-effect cabochons and gold-tone trim. The back is equally striking, with subtle gathering through the lower back and a fitted waistband-style panel finished with a matching statement button. The combination of traditional houndstooth with the dramatic hourglass tailoring makes this feel much more special than a standard vintage blazer.
