Dolina Vintage Leopard Trim Button-Front Jacket
Dolina · Clothing & Accessories > Women’s Suits & Blazers
Era / Decade
Late 1980s or Early 1990s (Y2K transitional). Clues include the structured shoulder silhouette, large decorative animal print collar, and pebble-textured crepe fabric common in career-wear dari this era.
Material
Typically a high-quality Polyester Crepe or Wool Blend. The trim is Faux Fur (Acrylic/Polyester). The fabric has a distinctive matte, textured feel which suggests mid-tier department store quality from that time period.
Condition
Excellent. Appears to be a stock photo or deadstock. For actual thrifted items, look for pilling under the arms and fading on the faux fur leopard trim. This specific example shows crisp tailoring and intact buttons.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. Leopard print and brown tones are currently experiencing a resurgence in 'Mob Wife' and '90s Corporate' trends.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$35 - $65 (Low: $25, Mid: $45, High: $75)
Estimated Retail Value
$120 - $160 (original retail adjusted for inflation)
Comparable Sales

Description
This vintage Dolina jacket features a sophisticated dark chocolate brown body with bold leopard print faux fur accents at the collar and cuffs. Designed with a structured, feminine silhouette, it includes subtle shoulder padding, a four-button front closure with metallic spherical buttons, and delicate pleating at the hem. Perfect for an 'Office Siren' aesthetic or a vintage-inspired professional wardrobe.
Key Features
Animal print trim is highly marketable; 'Office Siren' aesthetic; structured silhouette; unique spherical buttons; dark brown colorway which is currently trending higher than black.
Authenticity Indicators
Internal 'Dolina' brand tag with era-appropriate typography (typically serif fonts on a woven label). Confidence Level: High.
Flaws to Note
Faux fur can become 'matted' or lose its softness after improper washing. Check for missing buttons as these specific spherical types can be hard to match. Look for dehydration/cracking in the shoulder pads.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Depop, and Etsy. Depop is ideal for reaching the Gen-Z market interested in the 90s aesthetic. Etsy is suitable if the item is confirmed to be 20+ years old.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Mob Wife,' '90s Vintage,' 'Office Siren,' and 'Leopard Print.' Style the photo with high-waisted trousers or a slip skirt to emphasize the era. Ensure you measure pit-to-pit and length as vintage sizing runs smaller than modern vanity sizing.
