The beautifully finished fully-lined interior features a luxurious hand dyed Italian embroidery pure cotton reversible lining design which can also be worn inside out providing a true 2-in-1 investment value.	A very special fabric story The remarkably soft, exclusive and luxurious 100% superfine brushed winter cotton cloth was woven in Varese, Italy (the world's premier region for fine cottons) and offers a superb feel, weight, and investment value. The tone-on-tone Italian pure cotton embroidery lining fabric is both soft and beautiful. Both were then specially hand dyed in our studios for added softness, aging and comfort.
Very special pattern and cut for a special very fit... Developed from our intensive leading historical research for our Napoleonic-period collections, the MMJ14 was cut from an original authentic 19th century garment pattern. Its super-tight shape and fit in the shoulder, arms and bodice were maintained exactly. The result is an eye stopping shape and form, distinct and flattering for small size and thin body types.
A unique button story The MMJ14 features its own unique one-of-a-kind exclusive array combination of hand made and vintage antique buttons in leather, real horn , and other materials hand selected by the designer -- then, all double-stitched for 2-in-1 reversible wear, by hand to the garment in our Cavarzere Venezia studio workrooms.	Very special buttonholes Luxurious Italian pure cottonthread is used exclusively for the MMJ14's special handstitched buttoholes. An expert process, each buttonhole requires up to ten minutes, to cut and carefully sew all by hand to achieve the very rare look and and special feel that no machine-made buttonhole can ever match.
Inside out: double the impact and double the value	Built to last: in more ways than one A superb long-term investment value in both quality and design, the ultra-exclusive, 2-in-1 reversible MMJ14 can be worn in 2 different ways and with a maximum production of only 4 pieces for the world, will be a rare collector's item. Fully-backed by our workroom services and designed to offer a very-cool and very special wardrobe piece for many, many years to come.

Each exclusive piece comes with a very special supersoft luxurious pure Italian panama cotton dust cover bag handsigned by the designer.
