Gelatin sequins are heat sensitive. These electroplated gelatin sequins shimmer beautifully under ballroom lights but can wither if exposed to heat, water, rain, or steam. Despite their fragility, their depth of color is simply irresistible. After the 1930s, acetate sequins began to replace gelatin, making surviving pieces with genuine gelatin sequins increasingly rare.
Perfect for a formal gala, a vintage-inspired event, or as an investment statement piece in your wardrobe, this bolero embodies the allure and magic of Hollywood's golden age. A rare find, it combines artistry, glamour, and history into one unforgettable piece.
