{"product_id":"the-safari-salon-vintage-gulinos-animal-print-caftan","title":"The Safari Salon | Vintage Gulinos Animal Print Caftan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking vintage Gulinos caftan that turns animal print into something far more sophisticated. Zebra stripes run dramatically down the center while scrolling baroque motifs, warm caramel tones, and deep oxblood panels frame the body like architectural borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette is wonderfully relaxed and sculptural, with generous kimono-style sleeves and a long column shape that falls away from the body. A high standing collar gives the piece a polished finish, while black-and-gold twisted piping traces the neckline and adds a subtle touch of glamour. The front zipper makes it exceptionally easy to wear without disturbing the strong vertical composition of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of vintage piece that can move effortlessly between worlds—worn as a dramatic caftan, elevated loungewear, resort dressing, or styled as a statement dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something wonderfully fearless about this print. Zebra, ornate scrolling motifs, and rich burgundy should compete with one another, yet here they come together beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat really elevates the piece for us is the detailing. The black-and-gold piping around the Mandarin-style collar gives the caftan a finished, almost tailored quality that separates it from ordinary printed loungewear. From a distance it is dramatic; up close, those carefully considered details are what make it feel special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Gulinos\u003cbr\u003eSize: Vintage Small\u003cbr\u003eFabric: 100% polyester\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Caftan \/ hostess gown \/ loungewear\u003cbr\u003ePrint: Zebra and baroque-inspired mixed print\u003cbr\u003eColors: Black, ivory, caramel, gold, and deep burgundy\u003cbr\u003eTrim: Black-and-gold twisted piping\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Front zipper\u003cbr\u003eSleeves: Wide kimono-style sleeves\u003cbr\u003eSilhouette: Oversized, long and fluid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoulders: 21 inches\u003cbr\u003ePit to Pit: 24 inches\u003cbr\u003eLength: 44 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vintage size is marked Small, although the intentionally generous caftan silhouette allows considerably more room through the body.

Gulinos is an elusive vintage label, and I have not found enough reliable historical documentation to responsibly attribute a designer biography or important clientele to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat actually makes the garment itself especially important when evaluating it. Here, the construction and textile do the talking: an extravagantly scaled mixed print, dramatic caftan proportions, a beautifully shaped standing collar, and twisted black-and-gold piping that was clearly added as a deliberate finishing detail rather than an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnimal motifs became an enduring language of glamour in twentieth-century fashion, but the most memorable examples rarely rely on animal print alone. This piece mixes zebra with elaborate ornamental scrollwork and deep architectural bands, creating something closer to an interior textile or decorative panel than a conventional dress print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a piece for someone who doesn't simply want vintage—they want the garment that people remember.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mon Luxe Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44151175675963,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9056\/6715\/files\/IMG_3605-Photoroom.jpg?v=1788898589","url":"https:\/\/monluxevintage.com\/products\/the-safari-salon-vintage-gulinos-animal-print-caftan","provider":"Mon Luxe Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
