True vintage 1980s Bechamel velour tunic in a bold black-and-tan leopard print. This is exactly the kind of oversized statement top that looks right with black leggings, scrunched socks, and high-top sneakers for a full 1980s look.The standout here is the velour fabric. Velour is a plush knit textile with a short, dense pile that gives it a soft, fuzzy, almost velvet-like hand and subtle dimensional sheen. Vintage printed velour pieces like this are increasingly hard to find, especially in an animal print and relaxed tunic silhouette. The texture gives the leopard pattern much more depth than a standard flat cotton or polyester print.Features a roomy shape, long sleeves, drop shoulders, side slits, and an easy longer tunic length. The fabric feels soft and cozy without looking bulky.Brand: Bechamel
