Unworn 1970s BASILE HANDKERCHIEF LINEN BUSTIER ONE STRAP IT 42 / Us 8 ITALY

BOUGHT BY ME in the 1970s. Unworn. Finest handkerchief linen in black. One shoulder strap in a lightening shape, natural linen and black. Tiny button on side. Tiny slits on bottom seams. Impeccable, fantastic condition. Size 42 Italian - like a small 6 or 8. Made in Italy. Some of the greatest names of the Made in Italy fashion movement worked here, including Albini, Tarlazzi, Soprani, and Versace. The company was established as a tailor’s shop by Remo Basile in 1951. In the 1970s Remo’s son Gianfranco joined the business and transformed it into a manufacturing company focused on a refined total look that maintained the firm’s tradition of excellent tailoring.
