Oleg Cassini Raw Silk Button-Down Blouse
Oleg Cassini (Silk Line) · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops
Era / Decade
Late 1980s to Early 1990s based on the woven red and white typography of the label and the 'Hand Wash' silk care instructions.
Material
100% Raw Silk (Dupioni or Noil texture). The fabric has a natural slub and a distinct sheen typical of high-quality vintage natural fibers.
Condition
Very Good. The color remains vibrant without visible UV fading. There is minor wrinkling from storage. No immediate evidence of underarm staining or water spots, which are common in vintage silk.
Demand Level
Moderate to Strong. Natural fiber vintage (silk, linen, wool) is currently in high demand among eco-conscious and 'old money' aesthetic buyers.

Description
Stunning vintage Oleg Cassini silk blouse in a bright marigold yellow. Features a classic pointed collar, hidden or tonal button placket, and a textured raw silk finish. The fit is slightly oversized, characteristic of late 80s tailoring. Perfect for professional wear or high-end casual styling.
Key Features
100% natural silk material, vibrant 'Gen-Z Yellow' trending colorway, designer name recognition, and versatile vintage silhouette.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic woven Oleg Cassini label with specific purple sub-branding for the silk line. High-quality stitching and a secondary care tag with material-specific instructions. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Possible pinholes from the plastic Goodwill tag. Silk is prone to water spotting; check carefully for translucent ring marks. Some light 'fuzziness' at the seams is normal for raw silk but should be noted.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark. Depop is ideal for the bright aesthetic and ‘vintage’ tag; Poshmark is excellent for mid-career professional buyers looking for designer staples.
Selling Tips
Steam the garment before photographing to remove creases—do not iron directly as it can scorch silk. Use keywords like 'Quiet Luxury', 'Raw Silk', 'Minimalist', and 'Dopamine Dressing' to attract current trend-seekers. Ship in a weatherproof poly-mailer to prevent water damage.
