Mfa boston label on a vintage velvet cape? any info?

I have a vintage cape that’s a rayon/blend silk velvet burnout in a floral pattern. The label says “mfa boston” which really confuses me because when I Google that I keep getting results for the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Is “mfa boston” a known label or is it possible this piece is actually an antique reproduction or something sold by the MFA in boston?

I made a listing for the item so if pictures would help it is [URL removed]

Entirely possible that this is a reproduction item sold in one of their shops or online. The museum does sell a large number of clothing and accessory items, often in line with what’s currently being exhibited. Try checking out their website, or calling them. I believe they even have an outlet store in a factory outlet mall! Good luck!
