I purchased a vintage long DB 100% llama coat, made in Italy, with what appears to be a manufacturer's silk label which reads, "SSSSSSSSSS." Does anyone recognize this label?

I recall a maker called Sasson.

They might have used the "SSSSSS" label.

I'm not sure if they were Italian or if they would have made a Llama coat.

Is it a blck tag with white "S"s? If so, could it be a Syms label?

I've seen this label, and for some reason associate it with Nino Cerruti. But I have no idea why and am probably way off base.

No, it's a size 42. The label is greyish with white letters. It doesn't appear to be a Syms label either.
