We believe that this top came from Valentino's 1970's earliest Miss V collection as the woman who owned it often bought the ""firsts"" of designer collections. It has the Miss V Valentino label, a line originally designed as a lower price point, but it is incredible that the quality is so fine and the details so exquisite! Once you buy a vintage silk blouse from this time period, you will understand how far superior they are to most pieces made today.
