VINTAGE late 60s MASKIT - Tunic Top with amazing embroidered top. I have seen similar design in a maxi dress but never a Tunic / Mini Dress.
EXTREMELY RARE - HARD TO FIND LABEL
Circa: late 60s - early 1970's
Designer: MASKIT FASHION HOUSE
Made in Israel
100 % Cotton
MASKIT is a hard to find label. They were the First Fashion House in Israel founded 1956 by Ruth Dayan. See last photos of Ruth's Designs being honored in Museum in Israel. Notice this design in maxi dress.
They were a luxury Fashion Brand. They enjoyed worldwide success in the 60s when American Celebrities like Audrey Hepburn wore their Garments. In the 60s -80s their Garments were sold in the U.S. only at Neiman Marcus, Bergoff Goodman, and Sak's Fifth Ave. Which lead to them opening a Boutique in New York.
I purchased this from the original owner. She bought this on a trip to Israel in 1967. She wore it once while on her trip in Israel. At the time she was a Teenager and remembered it was expensive, and was afraid to ruin it.
