Louis Vuitton, Dolce and Gabbana, and Gucci have all embraced embroidering and/or printing Eastern-inspired Chinoiserie onto silk bomber jackets. In their latest spring collections, Louis Vuitton incorporated exotic animals within its luxe embroidery; Dolce and Gabbana combined oriental dragons with Sicilian colors; Gucci featured lavish floral designs on track jackets that echo the Eastern world.

Brands like Topman, Diesel, and Dsquared2 offer a range of Chinoiserie bomber jackets at price points great for people on a budget and people who can invest. This bomber gives you a sophisticated and cheeky old-world China feel while sipping a cocktail in the Lower East Side.
