1960s Red Taqsirah Jacket with Ottoman Medallions

This striking 1960s taqsirah jacket is fully hand-embroidered in the traditional tahriri couching stitch, worked with metal wire, a hallmark of higher-quality taqsirahs, and lined with rich red silk. Designed to be worn open, it allows for flexible sizing and a comfortable fit. Best for sizes 8–14, and up to 16 depending on bust and shoulder width. A wonderful option for fuller busts, it’s a true testament to skilled craftsmanship.

📏 Measurements

  • Pit to pit: 21” (approx. 42” bust)

  • Length: 17.5”

Please note: The velvet used in this jacket predates the piece itself, adding to its uniqueness and value. There is also some tape residue on the velvet from a white collector who had previously tagged the jacket. After consulting professional textile cleaners, we were advised to leave it as is, given the antique nature of the fabric.

Nothing is perfect, and that’s exactly the charm of vintage and antique clothing. We encourage you to read descriptions carefully and reach out with any questions before purchasing.
