Moda Spiegel Vintage Colorblock Velvet Tweed Blazer
Moda Spiegel · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Blazers
Era / Decade
Early 1990s (dated by the woven label font and the structured, shoulder-padded silhouette common in Spiegel catalogs of that era)
Material
Mixed media construction; likely cotton or synthetic velvet with a wool-blend metallic tweed panel. Fully lined in polyester or acetate.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The velvet appears to have some light lint and minor crushing near the shoulder, but the structural integrity and buttons are intact.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a consistent niche for 90s corporate-goth and 'Old Money' aesthetic blazers, especially during autumn and winter months.

Description
Elevate your evening look with this vintage Moda Spiegel blazer featuring a striking mixed-media design. This 90s-era piece combines lush black velvet with a contrasting silver/grey metallic tweed panel on the left side. It features a notched lapel, three-button closure with decorative piping, and a slim, tailored fit that hits at the hip. Perfect for fans of 'dark academia' or vintage power dressing.
Key Features
Unique asymmetrical colorblock design, popular mixed-media construction (velvet and tweed), vintage 90s catalog aesthetic, and decorative accent buttons.
Authenticity Indicators
Original 'moda spiegel' woven white label present. High confidence (Spiegel is a legacy mail-order brand not typically subject to counterfeiting).
Flaws to Note
Minor lint buildup on velvet panels (will need a lint roller), slight shelf wear on the velvet sheen at high-friction points like the underarms or cuffs.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop (appeals to the vintage/alt aesthetic), Etsy (strictly for the vintage aspect), or Poshmark (broad market for professional wear).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Mixed Media,' 'Velvet,' '90s Vintage,' and 'Dark Academia.' Ensure the velvet is lint-rolled before photography. Take a clear close-up of the tweed texture to show the metallic threads.
