Carla Zampatti Navy Crepe Cape Top
The Navy Crepe Cape Top is an authentic Carla Zampatti piece in Blue, from the Autumn 2026 collection. Carla Zampatti has cut tailoring and occasion dressing in Sydney since 1965, and the Autumn 2026 collection keeps to those codes: black, navy and ivory crepe, sharp jackets with jewel buttons, capes and fluid evening lines. Most pieces are made in Australia. Coveti verifies every piece before it ships.
A slim navy crepe bodice with a short cape across the shoulders. The cape moves with you while the bodice stays fitted. It is a modern occasion top that does the work of a jacket.
