Wonderful pure wool suit from the 1950s.
Labelled "Marlbeck" this piece is made from medium weight wool tweed in lavender, grey and soft green. The jacket is smartly tailored with a nipped in waist and little pockets and the skirt is pleated and fastens on the left side with a metal zip.
A truly stylish piece.
