Made in Italy, it is in excellent condition with all embroidery intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sukajan, the embroidered satin souvenir jacket that took shape around Yokosuka in postwar Japan, is reimagined here through Michele's maximalist philosophy of romance, history and rebellion colliding in a single garment. The body is blush-rose quilted satin with sage-green sleeves, and the rib-knit hem and cuffs keep the vintage souvenir-jacket silhouette, making the piece a direct crossover between sukajan culture and Italian luxury fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back is the centerpiece: a tableau of ukiyo-e lovers in an intimate, moonlit embrace, rendered in dense silk threads, metallic fibers and three-dimensional glass-bead embellishment, joining Edo woodblock-print aesthetics to Gucci's couture embroidery workshops. Around the lovers, the GUCCI logo is spelled out in pearl-stud appliqués individually hand-mounted on gold-tone bases. On the shoulders, lush satin rosettes bloom like camellias over the quilted panels, and the front carries twin mythological crane figures stitched in gold thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 Autumn\/Winter collection is remembered for its romantic East-meets-West storytelling and for reintroducing Japanese motifs into high fashion with rare intensity. Most jackets of this category were boutique exclusives, particularly in Japan and Hong Kong, and they seldom surface on the secondary market. The complexity of the embroidery, the multi-material construction and the Made in Italy craftsmanship place this bomber among the most sought-after collectible outerwear of the Michele era, produced in very limited numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gucci\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autumn\/Winter 2017 (17AW), Alessandro Michele\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quilted satin; silk and metallic-fiber embroidery; three-dimensional glass beads; pearl-stud appliqués on gold-tone bases; satin rosettes; rib knit hem and cuffs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blush-rose body; sage-green sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Back: ukiyo-e lovers in a moonlit embrace with pearl GUCCI logo; front: twin cranes in gold thread; shoulders: camellia-like satin rosettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent condition, with no noticeable damage or stains.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll embroidery is intact, and the quilted satin retains its sheen and body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Italy, in the Autumn\/Winter 2017 configuration: hand-mounted pearl-stud GUCCI logo on gold-tone bases, ukiyo-e back embroidery with glass beads, and gold-thread cranes on the front.
