A spectacular Gucci suede poncho from the Tom Ford era, sourced from the personal wardrobe of fashion icon Iris Apfel.
Crafted in Italy from rich chocolate brown suede leather and fully lined in a luxurious wool and cashmere blend, this dramatic ruana-style cape features a lace-up neckline with metal grommets, oversized patch pockets, and a sweeping fringe hem. The relaxed, architectural drape creates movement and presence from every angle — exactly the kind of bold yet effortless silhouette Iris Apfel was celebrated for wearing.
Designed during Gucci’s late-1990s renaissance under Tom Ford, the piece captures the house’s iconic fusion of sensual luxury and 1970s bohemian glamour. It is both highly wearable and highly collectible, made even more significant by its provenance.
A rare opportunity to own a museum-worthy Gucci garment with documented fashion history.
