Club 'Z' Collection Sheer Zebra Print Metallic Button Up Blouse
Club 'Z' Collection · Clothing & Accessories > Tops > Blouses
Era / Decade
Late 1990s to Early 2000s (Y2K era). Identified by the woven brand tag style, the synthetic burnout/sheer fabric, and the specific metallic animal print aesthetic popular in mall brands of that time.
Material
100% Polyester. High-sheen synthetic fiber with metallic lurex/glitter threading and burnout texture (checkered pattern). Low to mid-level quality common for 'fast fashion' of the era.
Condition
Very Good. The garment appears structurally sound with no visible tears. There is slight potential for snagging in the sheer checkered panels or fading of the metallic print, but none is immediately apparent in the image.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. Animal prints and sheer 'party' tops from the 90s/2000s are currently trending in 'Indie Sleaze' and Y2K fashion circles.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$18.00 - $28.00. The Y2K aesthetic and animal print currently drive demand toward the higher end of this range for vintage enthusiasts.
Estimated Retail Value
$35.00 - $45.00 (Original late 90s retail price).
Comparable Sales
Similar sheer printed tops from Club 'Z' or comparable brands like units or Requirements typically sell for $20-$30 on Depop. Metallic variants often move faster than plain prints.
Description
True vintage late 90s/early 2000s Club 'Z' Collection sheer button-down blouse. Features a unique burnout checkerboard texture throughout with a bold metallic gold and black zebra print overlay. Long sleeves with button cuffs, classic collar, and lightweight semi-transparent fabric. Perfect for layering over a camisole or bralette.
Key Features
Bold animal print, metallic/glitter finish, sheer burnout texture, Y2K aesthetic, versatile layering piece.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal brand tag and care label are consistent with mall-brand manufacturing from the late 90s. High confidence in authenticity as this is a mid-tier brand not commonly replicated.
Flaws to Note
Possible metallic thread fraying or minor snags in the sheer mesh-like squares. Potential for 'brittle' buttons due to age. Minor loose threads common with mass-produced vintage poly-blends.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark. Depop is ideal for this specific 'vintage mall brand / Y2K' aesthetic. eBay is a secondary option for collectors of specific vintage prints.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Vintage', 'Sheer', 'Metallic', and 'Zebra'. Photograph it with a light source behind it to show the sheer/burnout effect, and take a close-up of the metallic sparkle. Measure pit-to-pit and length as vintage sizing can vary.
