a.n.a. Long Sleeve Metallic Lurex Smocked Henley Blouse
a.n.a (A New Approach - JCPenney Private Label) · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops > Blouses
Era / Decade
Modern (Circa 2020-2023) based on the tag design and the current popularity of smocked bohemian styles.
Material
Likely a Rayon or Polyester blend with Lurex (metallic thread) for the shimmer effect. Light, sheer quality fabric.
Condition
Very Good. The garment appears clean and structural. There is minor visible wrinkling, but no obvious snags in the delicate metallic threads or pulling at the smocked yoke.
Demand Level
Moderate. High demand during Q4 (Holiday/Christmas season) due to the sparkle, but generally lower resale value for JCPenney brands.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $22.00 (Low: $10, Mid: $15, High: $25)

Key Features
Metallic shimmer/Lurex thread, bohemian smocked yoke detail, holiday-appropriate festive look, inclusive sizing brand.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal branded neck tag 'a.n.a' with size 'M' visible. Confidence Level: High (this is a mass-market brand and unlikely to be counterfeited).

Photograph against a dark background to make the metallic shimmer pop. Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Metallic,' 'Festival,' 'Holiday,' 'Smocked,' and 'Shimmer.' Offer as part of a '3 for $20' bundle to move it faster, as mid-tier mall brands sell best in bundles.
