Giorgio Armani Black Label Natural Fade Leather Jacket - 2000s

Giorgio Armani founded Armani in 1975 and began presenting ready-to-wear collections until the early 1980s when the first diffusion lines were created. Emporio Armani & Armani Jeans were both launched in 1981 with the aim of dividing the different design approaches clear individual lines that showcased different styles. The Emporio Armani line aimed to produce a more ‘fashion-forward’ selection of garments that carry the same principles and qualities of the main line, with more unique design approaches. The popularity of this line grew rapidly through the '80s & '90s, becoming one of the leaders of the high-fashion industry by the 2000s. 

This rare piece from the early 2000s era was made under the the highly sought after ’Borgonuovo 21’ label, which typically produced pieces with an unparralleled cut and finish, optimal attention to detail and incredible materials. It features a high-quality lamb skin leather exterior that has baturally faded with wear over a 25 year period, creating an incredible unique finish. There are 2 standard hand pockets and 3 interior stash pockets. 

Good overall condition with a natural fade and signs of wear - there are rips along the seams on the interior lining (see pictures) but this does not affect the wearability.
