Balenciaga was continuously inspired by Spanish bullfighters and eighteenth-century majos clothes. He returned to the bolero as a garment season after season. Hamish Bowles holds the same bolero in his collection. It was photographed by Kenny Komer and used on the cover of his book Balenciaga and Spain. A related piece from the following season, Winter 1947, is held by the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bolero is made of burgundy silk velvet with jet and black passementerie embroidery, edged with pompom trim. The dense embroidery concentrated at the shoulders and hem, and the pompom edging is a reference to the passementerie and braid work of traditional toreros' jackets. This jacket is not labelled. \u003c!-- --\u003e \u003c!-- notionvc: 8ff054af-3d57-485a-8e0f-636adffa882f --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"notion-enable-hover\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCristóbal Balenciaga, Autumn\/Winter 1946 cropped bolero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurgundy silk velvet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJet and black passementerie embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePompom trim to hem and edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDense embroidery concentrated at shoulders and hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-quarter sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlabelled \u003c!-- --\u003e \u003c!-- notionvc: d5e87a67-8734-4411-967b-30646a09a4cd --\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize \u0026amp; Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNo size label, best fits XS (please refer to measurements for accurate fit) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements are taken with the garment laid flat:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShoulder width 40cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChest 42 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 31 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve length 35 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- notionvc: 2688a955-9276-4323-b59a-bf8db0f86d89 --\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Balenciaga","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58399458132312,"sku":"C-0551","price":10523.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0892\/6081\/8776\/files\/BalenicagaBolero_dd7d2ad5-f2ea-4e83-8fd9-a75020b59d05.jpg?v=1788541231","url":"https:\/\/epoquecouture.com\/products\/cristobal-balenciaga-burgundy-silk-velvet-embroidered-bolero-aw-1946","provider":"Epoque Couture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
