Care instructions: 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.

Please note this is shown pinned shut, but it does not come with a clasp at the front and is styled to be worn open unless you provide your own clasp or closure.

Perfect for a formal gala, a vintage-inspired event, or as a statement piece in your wardrobe, this bolero embodies the allure and magic of Hollywood's golden era. A rare find, it combines artistry, glamour, and history into one unforgettable piece.
