A distinctive intersection of Italian luxury tailoring, rock-and-roll history, and wearable art, this Etro purple paisley blazer has been individually customized as part of the Jules Allen Collection, celebrating the unmistakable musical legacy and visual identity of Prince.
Crafted in Italy by Etro, the blazer features an elaborate multicolored paisley pattern against a rich purple ground, incorporating swirling floral motifs and accents of pink, orange, green, gold, and lavender. Its beautifully tailored silhouette is enhanced by structured shoulders, notched lapels, three Etro-engraved front buttons, long sleeves, and a gently curved front hem.
The custom embellishments transform this classic Etro design into a one-of-a-kind statement piece inspired by Prince's Minneapolis roots, artistic evolution, and legendary Paisley Park creative universe.
