1970s LEONARD Fashion Paris Black White Animal Leopard Print Wool Blend Knit Top

The eye-catching vintage Léonard Fashion Paris top is the different-coloured and slightly smaller twin of the one in shades of brown available here as well.

The design features one of Léonard Paris’s signature prints, the leopard print, in black on a cream backdrop. The slightly waisted top has a crew neck, long sleeves and a center back zip closure. It is made from one of the houses signature materials, a wool blend called “Crylor et laine”. The top is labeled “LEONARD FASHION PARIS” and tagged a French size 2. Super easy to wear and to travel with!

Léonard was founded when Jacques Léonard asked Daniel Tribouillard in 1958 to join the company as the designer of a new business, Léonard Fashion. In 1968, Tribouillard presented his first collection of printed silk jersey dresses with a slogan emphasizing the lightness of the fabric: “The Léonard Dress: 150g of happiness”. Only a few years later, the House began to produce silk scarves, ties and perfumes. Léonard is known for their fabulous floral and animal prints.
