Description
Model History:
Since the 1980s, Chanel has consistently incorporated denim into its wardrobe in innovative ways, often combining it with more noble fabrics or unexpected details. This jacket illustrates this hybrid approach: an outer garment inspired by work shirts, but revisited with the house’s characteristic elegance, notably through the addition of a printed lining evoking the label’s iconic scarves. This type of piece illustrates Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy of modernizing classics while honoring the brand’s visual identity.
Exterior Details:
Lightly bleached ecru denim is adorned with a discreet plant print in soft shades of aqua green, pink and lavender. The cut is straight and loose, with long sleeves and buttoned cuffs. The front buttonhole features six silver-tone metal buttons engraved with the Chanel logo. A patch pocket on the left side of the bust discreetly structures the ensemble. The fabric has a lightly brushed texture, pleasant to the touch, and tone-on-tone topstitching reinforces the finishing touches.
Interior Details:
The interior reveals a striking printed voile lining in vivid hues – duck blue, coral, fuchsia pink and anise green – depicting exotic leaves and flowers. The Chanel monogram is integrated into the print at regular intervals. The lining is removable thanks to a system of metal snaps, offering a double wearing option: with or without visible lining, depending on the desired effect. This detail testifies to the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of the house’s vintage pieces.
Product Condition:
The jacket is in very good condition, with well-preserved color and no visible signs of fading or excessive wear. The buttons are all present and functional, the seams solid and the lining in excellent condition, with no snags or stains. Both outer fabric and lining retain their original lustre.
Care instructions:
Dry-cleaning is recommended to preserve the integrity of the fibers and prints, especially those on the lining. For storage, use a wide hanger to preserve the shape of the piece, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct light to maintain the intensity of the pastel colors.
Why Choose This Product :
This Chanel pastel denim jacket embodies a rare form of casual sophistication, blending utilitarian silhouette, poetic prints and artistic lining. Ideal for lovers of hybrid pieces with understated yet crafted charm, it offers a refined alternative to the classic denim jacket.
