An exceptionally rare 1960's tunic mini dress by Emilio Pucci, executed in plush printed velvet and saturated with the house’s most exuberant colour language.

Cut in a relaxed tunic silhouette, the dress falls cleanly through the body with a softly structured V-neckline and cropped sleeves that hit just below the elbow. A subtle side slit adds movement and ease, reinforcing Pucci’s enduring focus on freedom of the body. The velvet base intensifies the already vivid print, giving the colours depth, sheen, and a distinctly luxurious weight rarely seen in Pucci’s more common jersey pieces.

The pattern is unmistakably Pucci: graphic florals, scrolling geometry, and bold colour blocking arranged with near architectural precision. Designed at the height of Pucci’s 1960's output, this piece reflects the moment when his work defined international jet-set dressing, equally at home in Capri, Milan or Ibiza.

Velvet Pucci from this era is scarce, and tunic length mini dresses of this calibre are increasingly difficult to source. This is not a reproduction moment or revival reference. It is the original language. Made in Italy.
