Roberto Cavalli 2005 Cheetah Tie and Clasp Silk Blouse – IT 38 / XS
An iconic archival piece from Roberto Cavalli’s 2005 collection, this silk blouse combines bold animal print with intricate detailing for a signature Cavalli statement. Crafted in Italy from 100% silk, the blouse features an all-over cheetah print interspersed with the Roberto Cavalli logo, creating a distinctive and collectible design.
The deep V-neckline is framed with ruffles and a tie closure at the center, accented by seven cascading clasps. The ties are finished with unique metal embellishments—one featuring a strawberry and claw, the other a flower and claw—adding a whimsical touch. Ruffled cuffs with branded buttons complete the feminine, detailed silhouette.
